Show me your hats

[Wscad]

During my times working oversea, I spent some time with some Australian lads.

They gave me a akubra hat. Its cracking thing bit of headwear

[Nobby]

The sort of Hat that Ned Kelly wore on his Days off.
These Days folks round here spend a little more time in their air conditioned Land cruiser than on the Brumby.

[Count Steer]

One of them is...



(Noble Wilde possum/merino beanie).

[KungFooBob]

This is a proper hat.

[cheb]

My usual head wear is a buff/necktube thing, I'm not sure of their usual name.

Off island it's likely to be a lovely Bates waterproof beaver fur trilby.

[DefTrap]

It gets hot here, I have a big shnozz and a big head. Attractive.
Anyway, I managed to find myself a gert big straw hat, in the cowboy style. Possibly rather more brokeback mountain than some but I dunno how cowboys wear those leather things when it's warm.

Like this anyway.
By the way, anyone else struggling to find something that fits (because almost every hat you see is "one size fits all" FFS) this place is really good

I really should look for something a little more lightweight.

I was in Oz 4 months 1986 and wore an akubra all the time.
Was a prized possession when I got back to UK, but quickly got lost.

About 15 years ago the missus brought me one back.
I was chuffed to bits, but never wore it

I'm amazed that absolutely nobody here wears hats. The sun is berserk.

Edit. The old ladies on the farms do wear traditional hats which cover the face.

[Tricky]

This is my latest (and definitely at the moment my most favouriteist ever ) one, got given it for free this weekend just for riding a skanky old Bandit around a race track a little bit faster than some other people did

[MyLittleStudPony]

With one of my previous women, about to gan on the TWOC.

I'm not only wearing a hat but also sporting a Capoeira shoe.

He's moved beyond us mere mortals into the more rarefied atmosphere of 'racetrack gods', he'll have brolly dollies n' everyfink now.

I have one In fact I just received a new catalog from the company that sells them here in the hope I want to buy another one. IIRC this is their Snowy River hat.

Don't see many wearing leather hats. Usually straw in the Summer & felt in the Winter. I have a straw one that's so large, it's almost a sombrero
