I have looked for one of these hats or one similar to it for quite a while with no luck. Anybody have any idea where to get one like it? I have a boonie but I want one with that short bill!! :help: Thank's Jason
Here's a few that I found searching. Hope it helps.

This type hat was what most every bowhunter wore in the 60's and 70's. It was developed especially for bowhunters I think. Sometimes they can be found at garage sales.
Let me ask....
If an archer shoots with a vertical bow....could he do so (in this hat) without string clearance issues?
I need an orange hat here (unfortunately) in a couple months.
You should be fine with a hat like that.That is a "Jones" style cap but it has nothing to do with Larry D Jones and I don't think he wears one of those but a different type of short brimmed hat.
I havn't heard the name Larry D Jones in years and I mean years, great Elk hunter.
Jason,
I've sent you a PM with some info...
Jonathan
PS Do you ever shoot down at Scottsburg with the ITBA?
Just buy a hat, and if the bill is too long, cut it down and sew it. Now, I wonder what kind of socks Larry D. Jones wears?????
Probably blue, shiny ones to match his LD JONES "staff" jacket.
I think Mr.Jones wears bucket/boonie type hat knit wool if I remember. That is a at I would like to try.
for some reason the "LD" part is making me chuckle. no offense meant ;D.
GMMAT,
You could just use your existing hat and wear a lightweight orange stocking cap over it or sew an orange cover to put over it.
I've got an orange neck gaiter I just hook to my stand on the way in.....and hang on my bow hook while I hunt.
Legal? Who knows. Visible? Yeah.
Thanks!
still have my old "Jones " style from the 70's and it is reversible to orange. every once in a while i break it out and memories of the first cover scent(skunk) come flooding back. dumb us we put that stuff on our hats!
I remember skunk screen. We put it in a kids locker at football camp one year.
Look at Kathy Kelly Designs.
skunk screen, put it on the ground by someones car who is too drunk to drive
I actually think Larry D. wears a bucket hat that was and maybe still is made by Columbia, with adjustable drawstring. Saw him in it the other day on a TV show (Bowhunter Magazine TV) hunting Javelinas.
I just searched for the Columbia hat and it is apparently no longer available--HOWEVER,. Rivers West has a reasonable alternative, in all kinds of different camo, for $23.95
I believe the last L.L.Beans catalog I got had the old "Jones style" hat in there it was a oil skin. I could be wrong I will look through the catalog pile and see if I can find it.
Hey RB, did ya put linament in he jock too?
