    Re: Your favorite hat

    My favorite hat has to be the Dirty Billy dark brown beehive that I picked up at 1998 Gettysburg event. Lining is just about gone and sweat band needs replacing but it sure wears great. Next favorite is my Tim Bender telescoping 4 inch brim plantation hat...keeps sun of this ole balled head and helps keep my ears for getting burned...not to mention keeping cold rain from running down back of neck when ya standing guard in middle of the night.:cry_smile

        My Tim Allen black "Frank" hat (as seen in avatar). It is soooo comfy that I can hardly detach myself from it when I need to wear a kepi!

              My favorite hat is a Dirty Billy Hardee that got soaked at a LH this summer. The rain caused the crown to sink down, and the brim to curl up. I couldn't have modified it any better myself.

                It could be the Sekala "Type I", which sits nicely on the back of my head, or maybe the "Type II" with vent - cooler on hot days, or perhaps the TP&H flat-top bowler, but then, that one's not quite aged enough yet...

                So many hats, so little time. :(

                  I found a Clearwater hat at Franklin during the last " National" event. I actually found it on the clearance table by accident. I don't rightfully know the "style," however, I am very pleased with how long it has lasted and how it keeps the sun off, rain out, and even head warm. It is not a beehive. It is the one on my avatar pic.

                      Hands down my Nick ************ McDowell cap. I love the look of it, it's very well made, and it feels 'right' on my head.

                          I would have to say either my "Hardee" or Pork Pie. Both made by Tim Bender. Very good quality hat. Wore it a lot, a few rainy events and it forms nicely to my head. My Forage Cap is a Dirty Billy. It is really nice to
