I don't know witch thread but I rember Jeff saying something about a RAT boonie hat in the near future.

In #1 you look almost sober,
in #2 you look utterly drunk
in #3 you look somewhere in between ...

how did you do that?
 
I'm thinking you look way, WAY too much like Chris Elliott in pic #2.

#1, Hat at the top in OD Green. OD Green...you need camouflage, throw it in the dirt and stomp on it a few times and you have camouflage without walking around with camo on your head all of the time.
 
Yeah those mini-boonie/bucket hats suck IMO. I like something with a little more brim. Don't know if I'll buy a RAT boonie, but I'm sure whatever they make will be good quality and I bet it won't be camo.
 
I like #1.
Number 2 looks like it should be brown or black (maybe purple) with a long feather sticking out of it.
 
I like the wide brims too... in theory. Sadly, I have found that the wide brims get extremely floppy when it rains and cut off some field of vision.

The shorter or medium brims work better in practice, at least in my experience.

The best boonie hat I have is made by Outdoor Research (it was discontinued and I don't remember the model name). It uses thin, flexible closed cell foam in the brim. It is flexible but won't crease or kink while still holding its shape in the rain. It is a phenomenal hat.
