I have a big fake fur hat for winter, looks like a bear trapper's hat. I wore it for most of the last 2 snowy winters at work. According to crew room rumour it was pure beaver.ha.

[Ashley Cawley]

Thanks for sharing your variety of hats Paul when I was flicking through I was really hoping for one with you wearing them all at the same time :p

3818I'm not one for hats really, apart from wooly ones!

LandRoverMatt and his younger brother often where flat-caps, I think they should post up a pic of themselves wearing them in the bush. I borrowed my Dads car once driving to meet some friends in the woods, he had his flat-cap on the dash so I wore it in for a laugh - apparently I looked a lot like Jethro wearing it! :o

i have a daek brown leather bush hat which i bought in a charity shop in australia for £15! waterproof, perfect fit and australian made. i'll see if i can dig a pic up. if any of you went to the bushmoot, it was the one i was wearing all the time.

I think the cover has been blown :D

Ideally I do like to wear a wide brimmed hat as it keeps the rain off my glasses so that I can still see! The problem is they just don't suit me so may end up with the old baseball cap again.

[Aaron Rushton]

go on to my profile and look at my avatar, that's my favourite hat, come rain or shine.

Does this count as a bush hat? ......http://www.after5catalog.com/beer-hat-p-802.html

[paulthefish2009]

Don't joke but i actually own one of those,someone bought me one for christmas a few years ago,i did try to use it once when i was well "lubricated".

Ideal! Do you think they could do a camo one or maybe olive green?

[JEEP]

I was really close to buying a green beret, to sew my remaining NaturalBushcraft patch on to. But I resisted.

I have a Russian Rabbit Ushanka (ushanka = hat with ear flaps) It looks absolutely ridiculous but it is very warm to sleep in and also acts as a pillow (not very water proof)

Don't all laugh at once, 54755476

I wear a beanie type hat in public

I also have a Rough (201K-Safari. Film memorabilia of the French film..."Safari" lol), which I wear often, as it's soft and comfy :D.
When I'm not wearing that, it's either a flat cap, a bucket hat (see picture), or the unknown brand leather hat (which cost £17 ;)) with my kill feathers on it.

The hat in my avatar is the Rogue.

I'm the proud wearer of a Tilley T3 - worth every penny, and doubles as fine foraging basket wherever I go :).

[Wolfman Zack]

I wear a Filson Packer hat.
Once, I attempted to make my own leather bush hat, but it did not come out as well as I had hoped, so I continue to wear the Filson.

Those Tilley hats sure look nice too though, I may have to pick one up sometime.

The duck cotton ones have a UPF rating of 50+, too ;). After having sun poisoning on my scalp (back when I kept my hair shorter), I don't take any chances.
I'd say go for a medium brim - you get decent coverage from the sun without looking like you're wearing a sombrero in the woods :).
