Ooh..I just found this online. I might have to order one.
Rachel, that's a pretty cool hat.
Except for the inexplicable weird cat ear things sticking up (and the color), the shape reminds me of the pork pies
@donn always posts in the Guardians thread - tasty!!
Thinks it's finally time to replace this hat. She's been many places with me. I'm considering a campaign hat.
Looks like you've got plenty of service from that one
@leghog.
It reminds me of the style of straw hat one of my grandpas wore in the summer when I was a kid, but he always got the cheap kind that had a little green plastic visor inserted in the front of the brim. Is a campaign hat the style worn by RCMP?
...
(The hat doesn't always look so bell-shaped, and is seldom adorned with a Christmas ornament.)
I remember this photo; cool hat!!
Is there a sheepsfoot knife behind the ornament?

I wear ball caps in the summer, flat caps in the winter. If it gets very hot I might wear a straight-brimmed hat, and
if it gets very cold, I wear something I can pull over my ears. Yesterday, when it was cold here, I wore my Elmer Fudd hat!
That IS reminiscent of the Loony Tunes star!!
The ability to cover my ears (and preferably neck, too) is
sine qua non for my winter headgear.
Gary, hailing from Michigan as you do, I am surprised you do not sport a Stormy Kromer.

When I was a lad, I frequently had hats with earflaps that could be folded up or down that I wore when doing chores on the dairy farm during the winter. I spent most of the time in the barn and milk house, but had to go outside for some tasks. (We also pretended we were airplane pilots when we had those hats, running around with our arms out to our sides and yelling, "Flaps UP!" of "Flaps DOWN!"
)
But that Stormy Kromer, I don't know... I'm to a point in my life's journey where my shoe laces sometimes present a challenge; adding laces to my hat just seems like asking for trouble!

I have to go out now and scrape so the sun can hit the concrete. It's below 0F, so I'll wear my Thick as a Brick balaclava.
Hey, I spent some time after church sweeping the driveway so the sun could work its magic!
And thanks for mentioning your balaclava - I have one and always call it my "ninja hood" because I can neither pronounce nor spell "balaclava".
Most of the time headwear:

That pic of your stag lambsfoot with the art in the crown of your Stetson is one of my favorites, Vince!
But how do you guys who regularly wear wide-brim hats keep them from blowing off in windy weather??
Here's one of my knife caps, apparently destined to soon become a collector's item when Rough Rider starts spelling the noun "Ryder"

I'd probably never go for a cowboy hat, but I could see me wearing some kind of straw wide-brimmed gardening hat in the summer. First, though, I suppose I should check Good Will for grey flannel suits in my size!
