Yes
You should have real concern that you even needed to ask ๐
That's a yes from me also.....
See loads of them at the bushcraft meetups.
I don't know whether they also wear them around town or not ๐
Yes, unless you ride a horse.
Definitely.
Go for it.
I wear a flat cap, which makes me look like a right ****, I don't see why I should be alone.
I never knew you were into line dancing, btw.
For balance I'm going with no.
Stick it on the parcel shelf and drive through Liverpool.
Don't blame it on the hat. ๐
Do you have a farm the size of Surrey?
Do you now, or have you ever lived in Wooolamoolooo station?
if the answers to either of those questions is no...then Yes. Yes you will.
Ignore this lot. Who cares [s]if your wife leaves you[/s] what people think.
Get ahead get a hat. Definitely, I'd wear proper hats all the time if I could carry them off with a degree of aplomb.
I do have a flat cap though, is it OK for a Southerner to wear it?
At the risk of breaking your heart, your achy breaky heart, it's an emphatic Yes
Nothing wrong with a battered Akubra.
A brand new one with an equally gleamingly new Barbour and Hunters, however.....
Of course, CG.
Classless innit?
As a ****less youth I briefly affected a trilby, until one wag in the Stretford End fondly opined '****ing hell, Sherlock's turned up again'.
Harry, I too have pondered your hat dilemma. Tell you what I will if you will, how about that?
I was thinking of [url= http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/New-Wool-Felt-Australian-Bush-Hat-Black-Brown-Small-Medium-Large-XLarge/230638870068?hlpht=true&ops=true&viphx=1&_trksid=p5197.c100068.m2280&_trkparms=ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140211130857%26meid%3D98965fc2adad4706833b17da265da6c7%26pid%3D100068%26clkid%3D914951673261750034&_qi=RTM2063723 ]this[/url] in brown.
Or one of these.
I like a hat & regularly brave ridicule from my friends and workmates .
When I wear the flat cap I tell them it's part of my cultural heritage . ๐
I think that one up there would be a step too far though. ๐
Are you growing a mullet?
Be honest, we're all friends here.
As a big fan of the mid life crisis expressed through a totally unsuitable barnet, I feel your pain.
The fez or the bush hat?I think that one up there would be a step too far though.
The reason I need a hat is that I'm taking the cub pack camping in spring and feel that a daft hat would be appropriate rather than my usual Team SKY baseball cap. The other leaders have those waxed cotton jobs.
The fez commands respect.
Then in that case get the first one bought . ๐
Nope, don't get one of those.
Get a Barmah Squashy instead
I don't think it matters what hat you wear it's how you wear it.

Wear a Monmouth cap, explain the history and why it's a lost piece of their culture
Go on grow a pair wear the hat!
Felt ones are rubbish, get a proper leather one.
I loved mine until I left it on the car roof.
You may or may not look ridiculous, Only way it could be unforgivably ridiculous is wearing it while driving a crap german SUV ๐
[intrigued]What is up with felt?[/intrigued]
More people should wear hats. I have a few, all of which I almost never wear.
felt far better than leather - but buy a fedora not a bush hat. Great in the rain - keeps it from running down your neck
No, don't listen to them. Buy it, you'll look great.
Tilley hat for the win.
Not so bad if you are in the bush I suppose. Round UK streets a bit silly looking, each to their own and all that.
We look pretty daft in MTB gear, mushroom helmet, man leggings and mixed florescent colours!
I just wish I could get a hat that fitted me.
My head is absolutely massive. Nothing of any use in it though, pah!
What's wrong with leather? I've got a distressed buffalo one which is great, pretty battered by now but still comfy and keeps the rain off.
I do get Glasgow urchins calling me Indiana Jones, but that's not a bad thing.
Hats are awesome - I have a selection!
Go for it - felt, leather, cotton... even straw at a push... all good. But for the real shiz then it has to be fur felt.
(I have an authentic Indie hat from the folks that made the ones for the film... but I was an archaeologist once so it is kinda allowed!)
