Schwert,

Thanks for responding. That is a nice hat you have there. How wide is the brim? It definately looks wider than the Filson.

I don't know why, but for some reason I'm in love with the idea of a tin cloth or oil cloth hat rather than felt. I suspect down here in Texas the canvas-type materials would feel cooler. Right now I wear a no-name boonie when adventuring. I want something with character.

And maybe a catskin hat band...
