I watched Hatari within the last few days and John Wayne wears one of those. I guess they'd be practical in a hot environment, but I don't like the looks of it.

I have something similar. Long-billed caps are popular for fishing, particularly on flat boats. Not something you'd wear out on the town, but very practical for what it is.

i used to get into bonsai trees, a lot of the oriental gardeners/bonsai i ran into seem to like these, not for me though i would think a full brim shades better

Best pic I could find of Venus wearing the Big Guy's fishin' cap.

A full brim shades better, but is less practical on the water and/or in the wind. And these have a 5 to 7-inch brim, so a full brim of this size would be quite large and difficult to keep on your head. A ball cap is designed as a compromise between shading your eyes and keeping your hat on your head.

I have that hat as part of my Hemingway collection, but I've never worn it out. I've always wanted to wear it big game fishing.

The gist then is the hat's of practical, perhaps historical
interest, but not generally to be worn unless turned
to the side like Venus on WKRP. (That pic is a great
find!)
