In NW Hoosierville this past winter there was a day where I called off work because we had almost 18 inches of snow overnight & the high that day was -12F!
I'm considering getting one to keep warm this winter. Does anyone have one? What are the pros &cons of it? I know that it's not vintage nor is it vintage-styled but I need something that can keep me warm & not be too concerned if it gets dirty.
Thanx!!!

I have a pretty good idea as to how to attach the brim to the crown. My plan is to use a zipper foot. I'm just not sure as to how I should attach the sweatband. I'm going to use some heavy cotton duck that I have laying around. I'm open to suggestions.
Thanx!!!

I would prefer the challenge of making it myself. I would take apart an old Filson bush hat that I have but I might be giving that to my nephew as a gift. I'm going to be using a urethane-coated Cordura in a camouflage pattern that I like.
Thanx!!!

I would like it to look like the above. What I need to know is how much fabric I would need to make a hat with a 3 inch brim measuring 24 inches around my noggin...
When I was a young lad living in the Florida Keys back in the 80's, I remember that if I got up early enough Douglas C-117's would be strafing over the land spraying a cloud of insect repellent. Pick-up trucks would come through in the evening.
I was pulled over listening to Beethoven. The cop said he was sorry he didn't realize that I was listening to classical, gave me a thumbs up & walked away.
True story.
