It is hard for me not to pick up my Stetson 100 every day!

My old beater yacht cap that I got from the old Quaker Marine Supply (and shown in my avatar). I have had it for several years and had painted it and sealed it with oilcloth oil to give it some weatherproofing. The chin strap came from my old U Boat Commander cap. The thing's all worn and torn but it's my "trademark".

A bit of backstory to QMS - they closed down and were out of business for some years. A few years ago, they reopened and apparently according to the tag on the new hat (that I got from the reopened QMS) are in New York. The old hat is from Maine. I got a new yacht cap, but still have my old beat up one. The newer one is made a bit differently and the crown part of it is not as big, which disappointed me. I will still use the new one for warmer months though, because the sealed cloth of my old one is hot. So that can be for cooler weather.

Don't want to start any contovery, just want to know what your current favourite hat is and why.
