Choosing a hat

[Moose67]

I need a new hat ...

 

[Dave_45]

Quite like the tweed baseball caps.

Beanies I think make your head stand out more and don’t cast a shadow over your facial area.

I do also like a flat cap.

 

[Dickie]

Depending on the time of year and the weather:
Tilley T5
Or a quality tweed cap and a tube/scarf thing if the wind is up.

I'm in the market for a new flat cap. Does anyone know what's in stock at John Norries in penrith?

 

[VSS]

Flat cap when I'm home on the farm.
Tilley TH5 at all other times, including stalking.
(I wear a hat every day, of one sort or another).

 

[WalkedUp]

Flat cap is the best in the autumn, winter, spring and summer.

OK - Choosing a hat?

If nobody else is going to step up, I will tap this in..."Just like that"!

Boonie or jungle hat is a great alternative to a baseball cap.

Tilley or Boonie hat, though I have a Deerstalker which I don from time to time, just because

As much as I would like to wear something more traditional a Baseball cap is simply the most practical. Especially in autum and winter when I might want to throw a hood over it. The visor will take the hood with it when I turn my head so I‘ve got free unobstructed vision.
But a woolen hat is always handy in winter. Just in case.

I've nearly always got a trucker hat one, I do also have trapper style hat albeit it's more a blend between baseball style hat / trucker

I liked the idea of a tilley, untill i gave them my details, the amount of marketing spam was horrendous. I would choose a base ball over other designs but they all come as one size and its too small.
If you buy tilley dont tell them

 

[tozzybum]

Tilley here, bought from stay indoors at Derby .No sales patter just a great hat.

Tweed flat cap is a bit warmer, but my go to is a waxed browning baseball cap - keeps rain off and throws shadow. 20 quid give or take. Browning Durawax Cap - Brown
Black wooly hat in the bag/ car if its getting properly cold.

Well, in my shooting holdall I've got a few hats. There's a flat cap, a beanie (of sorts), A woolly hat that's distinct from the beanie in that it's thicker and warmer and one of those Harkila peaked caps that is Gore-Tex and you can flip the top so it's a nice orange don't-shoot-me colour. What I wear when I get there depends on the weather and a whim. The beanie and woolly hat I bought. The peaked cap and the flat cap were presents, which also occasionally has a bearing on whether I wear them. Can't see them looking pristine so that the wife says "don't you wear that then?"

A good few years ago I bought a tweed baseball cap from orvis, one of the few things I could afford, great thought I a traditional English brand. You guessed it, made in Bangladesh. It’s still a great hat.
