Great hat!
I have two of these in the brown & black, Bailey Springfield Newsboy Cap.
Work helmet. Technically it's not a hat but whatever. Mini me created by my daughter (10 at the time) and myself.

For their 150th anniversary Stetson produced some open crown versions of their classic hats. The open crown Premier Stratoliner is a great hat.

Always wear my Resistol in the Wintah....while checking my traps
As I get older, I am very conscious of sun exposure and wear my wide brim Tilley for all outdoor work in the summer. They come with a lifetime free replacement guarantee that I have taken advantage of when replacing a hat I wore for 15 years.

Yup, I have a summer Tilley hat and a winter one. Both work well

That's why I started wearing the pith helmet. After all of the years of surfing and burn, peel, burn, peel, burn, peel then a little time roofing I decided I had better start protecting my skin. The pith helmet is great because the only thing that touches your head is the band on the inside That goes around your head and all of the pores let the heat out but it keeps the sun off. After several years of that it became kind of a trademark so I decided I might as well brand it. Since I've put the mini me on the side of my van now I HAVE to wear it...sort of painted myself in the corner there. But at least I wasn't wearing a tutu or something. :shrug:
