What's Your Favorite Fishing Hat?

[racine]

I alternate between my Panama and my Boonie. I've treated my boonie with Permethrin so in buggy areas it gets used. In sunny weather I don the Panama and it's cooler than my boonie. When I was living in Colorado I was looking for a genuine beaver stetson but that $600 tag kept me saving, then I move away. Don't nice hats have chin straps for windy or riding conditions?

I think I may keep my 3X beaver Resistol. It was a little over $100 25 years ago. No idea what it's worth today. I think Stetson and Resistol (same company) are now measuring their x's with buffalo fuzz. I used to ride horses but not any more. I guess I qualify as someone who can wear an old fashioned cowboy hat. I'm in the west and used to ride.

That's OK Lotech, I have horses, but I drive them, I don't ride them. I suppose since I'm not in the west I would be pictured with a top hat. I don't have one but I do have an Austrian cowboy hat. Our horse's are Haflinger's, they origonated from Austria, my wife went over 4 years ago and bought a little filly we named Lizbeth and shipped her here to Michigan. I do wear a pair of Justin Ropers and my lower part is kept decent with a faded pair of Wrangler jeans....I suppose if you don't look like you belong in a Charlie Russel painting, you can't wear a cowboy hat? Well, it would be fine with me if you wore one.....I also have a Stetson Straw hat....it is old and still does the job. My motto, if you got it, wear it. I still prefer the long bill baseball cap for fishing however.
