Safari Hats

One more vote for the surplus boonie hat. Melanoma is no joke. I can speak from personal experience. You need to take precautions. Skin cancer can kill you and can lead to missing out on an entire hunting season. Don’t leave it to chance.

These military boonie hats are available on Amazon for as little as $10. I wear a ball cap the rest of the time, I kept this one clipped to the handle of my soft rifle case and only wore it in the field. It recovered well from being squished in my luggage. I also recommend a sun gaiter. They are very inexpensive and give you the instant ability to pull it up and have coverage when needed. While in Africa, I didn’t leave the lodge without one around my neck. I have a camouflage one, I wouldn’t use the blue where Tsetse flies are an issue.

Although, I would not be opposed to that beautiful World War I campaign hat. I think that would cut a nice profile!

Happy hunting!

You’re also wearing a neck gaiter and OG-107. The neck gaiter is indispensable if you are worried about skin cancer. Very good gear!
 
I've been using this felt hat for several safaris.

Any idea on what Stetson model that hat is?

Doesn't seem to be any replies?

The hat seen in the picture attached to the "post/reply" - Stetson with leather band - the shape or style looks to be a standard Fedora, as for the composition, Mizzou100, would have to give more specifics.
Stetson makes several hats that have the Fedora shape/style , a multitude of colors/shades and those will be in varying price ranges i.e. quality

Stetson - Fedora shape - the Cromwell , Temple , Chatham , Sirius , Hastag , Cromwell , Wippet , Stratoliner .....

So, in the picture, it looks to me Mizzou100 is wearing a Fedora shaped or styled hat , but as for the specific model Stetson, he would have to elaborate further.

What's wrong with a zebra hat band?

Absolutely nothing!

In fact, if you wear one, you can stalk into a herd completely undetected...

I look like a "flop-eared" dog, because of the things dermatologist have cut off my ears.

I'm wearing a baseball cap right now, but I quit wearing them in the African sun.

The one I am wearing here is a Hooke hat out of Canada...I'm the guy carrying the 458.
 
I just got my Kuiu cotton boony hat that keeps its wide brim yet also easily folds into my suitcase...very pleased with it given I loved my hard brimmed hats but too painful to carry on airplanes.

I received mine a couple of days ago. It is nicer than i expected and will get some use here in the
Arizona sun. Very lightweight.

Thank you for the LIKE on my old post. It brought back memories as I lost her a year and a half ago, at 18+ years.
