What's up with this hat?

[Delmonico]

Straw hats are a must in the summertime. I use them to keep my bald head from getting sunburned.

I work on them, I sell them, I hate them and refuse to wear these modern so called straw hats made of paper and painted.  Palm or light brown felt for summer.

My wife's cousin, George Williams used to travel with Casey in his purple Caddie. George rode Saddle Broncs as well. George is a member of the PRCA HOF in Colorado Springs. In later years, he was a stunt double for John Wayne. He has a ranch in Arizona.

A feller would need two of those hats.

One to crap in and one to cover it up with.

That's the one!  Looks ridiculous.

A feller would need two of those hats.

One to crap in and one to cover it up with. 

I would be embarrassed to be caught crapping in one.

One guy here wears that square taco high and tight.  Nuther one wears like this:



They justify it by this or that famous person wears one like it, the hatter has several different hats he wears, none because someone else does, but cause he likes them, he is also calling the other two lemmings.

[Delmonico]

BTW the crown on that one is so low it sticks up above yer ears.

[Stu Kettle]

 

[Delmonico]

Well they tell me tall crowns look dorky, I think a hat 3/4" or more above yer ears does.

Doesn't look like any of he butt cracks I'm familiar with. Think if I was going to put one on my head if call it something else.

John, I thought the Munchin Mayor wore a top hat.

Nope Arcey, I was the only one there wearing a boonie.  Mines kind of a grey color.  I wear it with what you'd call "the uniform" 'cept without the crocks.

Coroner of Munchkin City. You know, " . . . really dead, most sincerely dead."

Butt Cracks are sorta personal. Just like Stimey of the Little Rascals said " I don't show my ignorance to nobody".

Nope, I didn't remember. Had to look it up. Yep, goofy looking hat.

Kinda retro Flying Nun look 

Lol

That seems to be popular with the dry climate cowboys of west texas- new mexico. And team ropers when they are not wearing their favorite rope makers ball cap.

Arcey that old hat was the last working hat i had.  My gray is getting some patina to it also. My Black don't get worn enough. I do have a palm just don't wear it much. You won't see me with those nun wings, ever.

I wear a straw hat longer in the summer. The felt hats are worn after Labor Day, then back to straws about April 1.

[Arcey]

Chose the NPD K-9-ERT ball cap for the next OFSDAR shoot. I'm an alumnus, can wear it for real. CAS, straw Memorial day ta Labor day. Black felt for the others.

I have a collection of Athletic ball caps, college, Football, and Nascar that I wear. I wear my RGIII Redskins hat, here in the heart of Dallas Cowboy country. I also have a Texas Rangers cap(not the ball club). I also have some Masonic caps and CAF caps.

[Major 2]

I used to have large collection of caps....many from films I did , ABC & CBS Sports, and lot of PD departments, Racing , MGM & Universal Studios , Disney , Military , just about everything... wore them once or twice and up they went .
These hung around the ceiling in my Barn, which burned to the ground 3 years ago...
I still have few that just happen to be in the house ....


I do have a reshaped Guatemalan palm wide brim , these were popular with old Cracker Cowboys 1870-90 Florida.
There's a lot of shade under it.
I also have  a Union of Morrisania Baseball cap, a baseball team for the National Association of Base Ball Players late 1860's,
these two are my summer shooting lids.

I have made more than a few hat/caps in my day.
Not the least of which were the leather Imperial German helmet known as the "Pickelhaube", (spelling) for those in reenacting wishing to do early WWI German.

At our local flea market I found a wide primed high crowned palm hat, that fit my head size.
This I turned into a Hispanic style Sombrero (spelling). With a rolled brim all around, but higher roll in the front and back.
I thought the "palm" would be cooler in the summer. I found a well made "palm" hat was not cooler, It was however, lighter than a good felt hat, and that was in the summer heat and humidity of FL. more comfortable.
My best,
 Blair

I never wear a ball cap. Never played ball either. I have a couple straw hats, but seldom wear em. I wear a brown felt hat year-round. I did pull the liner out of it one 100+ degree day at Fort Pitspitr. It's much cooler now that it can breath.

[pony express]

I've gone through a few "Ball cap" periods in my days. Last time was several years ago.....wow, now that I think about it, maybe close to 10... when I had hair about as long as Arcey's, and any time I drove with the window down, I had to take off the hair tie and re-do it. So I always kept a cap in the truck. Never wore a cowboy hat until I started CAS, first one was one of those $10 hard white "straw" hats, just enough to meet the "dress code" Still just have one palm leaf and my SAW campaign hat. Tried a couple of those floppy "crushable" cowboy hats when I was riding the motorcycle to shoots, but they never looked right after rolling them up into the saddlebag the first time.

[Arcey]

No cowboy hats 'til I started the CAS stuff either.

Been wearin' ball caps for years. Ever since the sun burnt the bald spot on the back of my head when I was doin' yard werk.

The booney's for shade. 'Nother plus is I ain't advertizin' no one's product for free. Wore a sailin' hat when I was racin' ballast. Similar to a booney but the brim's wider. Chin string kept it on in the convertible. It finally disintegrated. Prolly from bein' dunked in the Elizabeth River. Guess I'll be mostly wearin' 'em in the future. Gotta dermatologist appointment again Thursday – don't like visitin' dermatologists.

Found a white dress shirt with a Farm Fresh Supermarket logo embroidered on the breast at a thrift shop. Thinkin' it was a manager thing. Hadda Butterball ball cap. I'd wear 'em together 'n go ta grocery stores where I weren't known. Used ta have employees followin' ta watch what I was doin'.
