They save lives, Sam. The incidence of melanoma skyrocketed after everyone started with the baseball cap crap.
Glad to see you wearing it.
I’m pretty sure Tractor Supply has that exact same hat (Hecho en Mexico and not China) for $12.99.
On their website it’s called the
Milano Straw Bucket Lifeguard HatI’ve been all about serious straw hats for more’n thirty years, had a bunch.
These are among the cheapest I’ve found and also among the best, the chin cord adjusts easily to keep em on in strong winds and they hold up under constant use as good as any straw I’ve had.
Last year they were only $10. I have three, one at home, one in my vehicle, and one at work.
As for other pics, somewhere I have a photo of me with a javelina (Tks Roger) and me with a whitewing dove, both taken with a flintlock smoothbore. Best I got.
