Re: Your favorite hat

I'm fairly new to the hobby, but I'm already showing signs of "hataholism". I love my Tim Bender Flat Top Bowler. It's definitely going to see a lot more use this year.

Re: Your favorite hat

I'm a hat nut, but the one I keep going back to is my Clear Water tall beehive bought as my first "good hat" in 1999. I'm wearing in 2012 at Shiloh in my avatar. It's changed shape more than once, until finally after sleeping on it for a pillow in the field at Wilson's Creek, MO in 2011, it morphed into a Texan's big-brim hat for all seasons.

My beloved Tim Bender Hardee, I have worn it on every campaign for the last 6 years and the weather has made it a beautiful sight for sore eyes.

Re: Your favorite hat

I like the tall beehives the best. Still looking for a nice used on since I'm just starting off.

Re: Your favorite hat

Mine is a black beehive from Clearwater Hats. I bought it used off a pard leaving the hobby and got a killer hat for only 20 dollars. There is seldom an event that I don't wear it. I've done a little bit of intentional shaping to it and let nature take its course for the rest. It's been from the backwoods of Missouri to the rocks of the Devil's Den. I love it.
