Brimmed hats?

[domnhall.rowlan]

On a chilly, rainy day you will usually see me like this.

And no, I don't own a bullwhip.

Wonder what that says about me, as I do own a bullwhip.
(used to drive a bull wagon)

lots of good advise and hints for this newby
the rabble is greatly appreciated

Living in Arizona the last 40 years wide brim hats are a big thing with me. I own two Tilley hats that I often wear with my kilts. Last spring I found this really really wide brim hat that I wear hiking when kilted.

Found it in a store in Tubac, AZ. Label in the hat says Sun Body Hats Houston, Texas www.sunbody.com Handcrafted of palm leaves in Guatemala. And the hat maker/weaver signed the label.



Here's a side view to show the six inch wide brim.



Here's another pic showing the 6" wide brim - before I added a hatband.



I also often wear the Doughboy War I campaign hat from Miller Hats.



I like how the back of the brim turns down for more neck protection. Pic is on the Colorado River a bit north of Moab, Utah.

I usually dress for the weather. Depending on the weather I wear my Tilley T3, Statesman, straw cowboy, fedora, Tilley Ivy or tam.

Tilley now sells wool fedoras & ivy caps. I wanted a fedora, but they didnt have one in my size so I chose an Ivy.
