Post New Hats Here!

[Bugguy]

I've been wearing an inexpensive vented hat I picked up in Australia about ten years ago. Almost lost it when my waders took me down stream while fly fishing in New Zealand two weeks ago. My daughter bought me an original Hills Hats oilskin hat (Style 247) made in New Zealand for the holiday. (https://hillshats.co.nz/) Waterproof, stylish, lined, and should last for years. This will be my 'go to' for the cooler, rainy months ahead.

Here is a Royal Deluxe Viscount that I recently picked up. It has an interesting style with a back bow and 1/2” above and 1/4” below brim binding.

The Viscount appears to be a fairly rare model — Eric @Short Balding Guy has a beautiful one that he features occasionally on WHAYWT.
