my hat?? Hot weather special that suits 90F plus!! Normally I wear a cap but that doesn't help much in keeping the sun off a man's ears!!

Need something like that myself.

Wish I would have worn one of those 40 years ago. Had a chunk taken off the top of rt ear couple years ago. Fortunately it was only basal cell.

I applaud you for knowing the difference between a hat and a cap.

Is that YOUR T-6?

No! Belongs to a friend in Tallulah, La. Here for some maintenance.

These two SNJ-5 belong to my son:

I had one 35 years back and sold it. Now...I guess I have two!!

I have taken to wearing a coyote brown version of your issue boonie as it has a wide-ish brim and soaks up sweat. I find the Akubra and Stetson make me sweat a lot, and are not as comfortable.

And if you want to see ridiculous skin cancer rates then come here as this is the epicentre, only a complete fool wanders about without a hat here.

Or a teenager that hasn't had their first bit of hide cut off.

Anglos who like the outdoors should never pass up the opportunity to buy a good hat. Boonies are my favorite, I hate to say it but the USMC version has the widest[best] brim. Propper has them in non mil colors.

Sharpsman,

If you don't mind my asking, do you have a link to that hat ?
Or a brand name and style for it ?
Thanks,

Nothing special about this hat other than it's not heavy, is very cool with vents for air flow with a wide brim. Bought it two years back at my local coop store! Has a band that has Soybean written on it! Basically it's just a straw hat...an El Cheapo Special...but wears good!

Here's a hat I just bought:

Thanks, friend !

I knew it didn't look like a regular boonie hat.

I don't know how long before it falls apart, but I have an el-cheapo straw hat that I bought from the local large grocery chain store several years ago.

Then it will be time for something else.
