Thread: Hats

Red Rocks leather hat.
Made in Australia.

Really well made, has kept its shape for 7 years and a good weight to it so it doesn't launch too often. Best leather hat I have had, just a lick of dubbin every 6 or so months keeps it looking good and semi waterproof.
They make a roo hide one now I see, may have to upgrade. If it doesn't work out, could always cut it up into travel strops.
Size xl to fit my boof head.

My two winter hats from Mackey custom hats.

Took 7 Muskrats to make this Russian Hat..

Coon ...Fisher...combo here

Those are damn warm hats. I have one that has to be almost 40 odd years old somewhere. Similar hats used to be issue winter hats for the RCMP and local cops up here. Not so much now because of the anti fur crowd so wool tuques are more common now.

I caught them and skinned them....but sent them out to be tanned at Moyles Tannery....then the tanned pelts were sent to USAFOXX for the hat making /sewing process...for 65.00

If it’s above 25 degrees F .....they are too hot on the head !

And did you know...that Stetson / Resistol and other Cowboy hats of high quality are felted from beaver fur ! Abe Lincoln’s Hat was also made from beaver too...

I wear a few during the year LOL


My wife's fav,,, my Stetson had it longer than I have had her We fight about it in the Summer,, she hates my straw



This is my latest hat a Resistol straw I bought this I think in either 16 or 17 when I gave away my old Bailey straw to a friend... It was a gift from a friend so the rule is you must never sell a gift you must re-gift it to keep the PIF going




My December hat



I have a ton of hunting hats I seem to collect them hehehe I actually stashed a full box of the old Jack Daniels Wyooter Hooter hunting hats with the ear flaps back in the Night Club days. I have ONE new one left hehehe






Mostly I am wear a Ball cap, or a Tuque (Yes we call them that up here too),,, I have a couple of Fur Lined Trappers Hats that I LOVE !!!! when I am out on the Tractor blowing snow off the road.
