    Morning …

    Minivader has decided that my whiterock hat is now his. Tbf it has seen alot of wear so I’m not too worried. Se what would people recommend for the summer? Not a tilly hat tho as they are bloody expensive. Needs to be fairly bomb proof as it’ll get worn on a daily basis.
    cheers

    Well a Tilly would have been my first recommendation. I assume you want wide brimmed ? Columbia used to do a fairly cheap lightweight one.

    I get the feeling that this isn’t being taken seriously. 😆

    This was my choice of hat for Ibiza last summer…

    lol @ mike.

    It’s gotta be a cap… every time for me.

    Was wearing one of these in the queue for the tower in venice and an ‘merican lad asked me how the yankees got on last night. Not a clue I replied, just thought it was a cool hat. True Story!

    K’off mike 😉

    Ben Sherman Linen & Cotton Ivy Cap 6 Panel Driver Hat

    Bought this at TKMaxx recently for £12 as my The North Face commy cap is getting a bit warm.

    That Pharell hat is getting on my nerves. 😡

    Its about time we found out exactly what type of hat is suitable for men. Im sure we all need something that protects the noggin but doesnt make you look like a granddad.

    Needs to be bombproof you say?

    Elephant trainer Michael Hackenberger of the Bowmanville (Ontario) Zoo, had his Tilley Hat snatched from his head and eaten by an elephant. Three times. Michael later would find and pick up his Hat, wash it thoroughly, and wear it.

    Baseball caps are like soooo nineties.
    You want a military style cap.

    I really, really want a Tilly. I really, really can’t afford a Tilly.

    I console myself by trying them on every time I go into Go Outdoors, then walk away with a little sad face of longing like Wayne Campbell in a guitar shop.

    C’mon Cougar, Tilly’s aren’t that expensive! Unless you’re in the habit of regularly leaving hats on trains, buses, in cafés, etc, it’ll last for donks. I’ve got two, a Canadian Winter and a waxed cotton waterproof, which gets used quite often!
    My ‘everyday’ hat is a black six-panel duckbill, cost me £6 from a street stall at our local folk festival last year. It just happens that it’s on this weekend, so I’ll be checking the street market stalls on Monday for another one, just in case, and a grey check as well.
    Perfectly fitting hat, really comfy, keeps the sun off the thin bit on top, the sun out of my eyes, and rain off when it drizzles.
    All you could possibly ask from a hat, really.

    Baseball cap = chav, middle aged through to grandad. If it’s a pensioner, he’ll be wearing shorts, big white socks and trainers. If it’s a middle aged fella, he’ll be driving like a tosser and possibly wearing oakleys. If it’s someone under 30, it’s probably a chav.

    Tilley, second hand from EBay then, the best is the hemp version th5 I think.

    New Tilley hats look too shiny, second hand is the way to go.
