A straw hat keeps the bass fisherman away. Put on a ball cap, and stand on the front deck, as soon as you bow a rod one of them will materialize out of then air. Got on a straw hat they won't even notice ya. Kinda funny to watch it
Good for you, was at the dermatologist yesterday and he removed a couple of slabs (sorry couldn’t resist) from my ear. Have to dress for the sport. I have a big old straw hat. Did see a guy the other day with a coolie hat, the triangular pointed ones, sort of neat, I saw a lot of them in Asia and I may get one. Maybe it attracts fish.

That straw hat makes you look some what Cowboy-ishYeehaw!!!
Couple of years ago I bought a "Tilly Airflo" big brim hat, works great, but the price was kinda high.
Years ago walking into work alongside "Fred", He was wearing some kind of safari hat snapped up on one side. I asked what kind of hat it was, He said "Man, it's a Tilly. A buddy of mine paid $300 for it, then sold it to me for $50". I asked How did He get that kind of deal on it. Fred said "My Buddy worked at the Zoo, and wanted a hat to look the part. One day after He bought the hat, while cleaning up in the elephant pen, one of the elephants walked over and quickly swung His trunk over Him, snatched the Tilly off His head, and gulped it down the hatch real quick. A day or two later, while shoveling up piles in the elephant pen, there was the Tilly! He hosed it down, no damage, but it was just never the same to Him, so I got it for 50 bucks".
True story.
Tilly's have a great reputation for being really, really durable.
Time will tell.
Oh, by the way, mine was brand new when I bought it, never digested - at least not yet...
I’ve worn Tilley hats since the 1st Gulf War when a Canadian soldier gave me one. Over the years I have bought many but now wear Akubra hats. Never been a Tilley hat made that sold for 300 bucks…at least not by the company.

I don’t like wearing any hat…but it is a necessity. I find all of them to be hot but straw hats are the coolest.

I look for the nearest place to take the hats off. In the winter time I am more apt to wear one. Summer they are just too hot
