Wool Crusher, boonie, Filson shelter cloth packer, Akubra stockman, old gray fedora, original Stormy Kromer, made in Milwaukee, WI, Navy surplus watch cap, French Beret, beaver fur trappers hats are all in my use.
Never cared for the ubiquitous ball cap, brim worn fore or aft. Doubt I would ever be caught wearing a Tilley, just to dorky looking on me and most people that wear them trying to say “Look at me, I’m a canoeist.” Plenty of much cheaper and potentially better hats.
My bride brought back from Scotland a Harris Tweed salmon fishing hat and Barbour waxed cotton flat cap like the British Gillies and bird hunters wear. Both are current favorites in appropriate weather.
