What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

Orvil Newton · Jan 16, 2019

The Stratton Trooper is always my choice to keep rain or snow out of my hearing aids and off my bifocals. I flattened the brim and gave it a modified center dent with a slight front pinch so it looks more "Civilian". For warmth, I inserted a polar fleece lining made from an old ski cap, making this the warmest hat I own, even with the side vents.

Photo is from last week. weather today is thick freezing fog.

A have a Stratton Sheriff model and it can certainly take any abuse you might throw at it. Yours looks great and seeing it in the weather is awesome. Did you buy the hat big to accommodate the fleece?

Alan, Thank you! I feel the same regarding your hats. Your Vanzina from the other day was a fantastic example.

Two Titans complimenting each other. Nice! :sigh:

I gave an old Spanish American War era (reproduction) hat I've had since the 1970s a good workout today.

No. I might have if I had thought of it, but it has not been a problem. I just tuck the bottom half inch of the liner into the sweatband. The liner is just a single layer of middle weight polar fleece cut from a 50 cent ski cap from a second hand store. The cap had three layers and by experimenting I realized that the single mid-weight liner was fine in any temperature warm enough to go without covering my ears - above about 20 degrees.

Thanks. I might try rigging something like that too.

Well, gotta check in for National Hat Day!

Rainy in the bay, so Resistol 10x Cogburn.

That’s a great one, Jared. Glad it is keeping the rain off your dashboard!
You might consider getting that windshield installed

You look like Eliot Ness with a mustache
... or would you prefer to be one of the "public enemies"

That crown looks extremely high.
