I like hats. I even collected them for a while (mainly ballcap type hats). Now I have hats of all different kinds, and I have some really nice western hats.
About 6 months ago or so I got this heavy canvas hat. It kind of looks like a western hat, but it looks really ratty, sort of like it was cut from some canvas tarp in a jungle camp somewhere. It's not waxed canvas, but just regular heavy canvas. I like it a lot because it doesn't look like a fancy hat at all, and it's certainly not any kind of a dress hat.
It basically looks like this...
I don't know what it is, but I've gotten more compliments on this dang hat than just about any other hat I own! Seriously, people will go out of their way to say how much they like this thing. I'm actually thinking about getting a 2nd one in a lighter tan color. The picture (above) kind of makes it look lke the hat is shiny and waxed or treated, but it isn't shiny or treated; it's just straight heavy canvas. Waxed canvas hats are WAY too hot, and this one isn't like that. It does have some wire in the brim so you can shape it a little bit (but not a lot). For the most part though, it just pretty much goes where it wants to.
One of my favorite hats is this one, but it doesn't get nearly as much attention despte costing several hundred dollars more..
Anyone else like and wear hats?

This is what's left of my Akubra "Territorian". It stinks when wet, and when it's dry to be honest. I don't really notice so much.

Augustus is a hat guy. I've yet to see him live or Memorex without one on.
My head is too fat for a hat. When I sit in the East, I have one that fits, but I am just not a hat person.

people who live in snowy areas make me smile.
If it snows here, we hide from it, and it goes away. I served my time in snow hell.
