Gray Wolf Woolens Bomber Hat
Best hat I've ever had for hunting, and it's sold by a sponsor :thumbsup:
Gray wolf woolens crusher hat,it is by far the best hunting hat I have owned.
Check with REI they have a surprisingly good wool hat collection. At least the one near me does.
King of the Mountain Boonie for most of the time, a bomber when it gets cold
I have the Gray Wolf Bomber, KOM Boonie and the KOM Bomber, and like them all. I have found the Boonie is good for cool weather, the GW Bomber works well down to about 0 degrees, and the KOM Bomber is best below zero. Anyway, that is the way I use them.
How about a 100% wool jeep cap made in the usa for 7bucks

I got 2 of them and they are well worth the $7
Check out the wool liner gloves for 4$ too! I got a couple pairs of them as well.
How about a camo fedora?
I've been wearing a green one for a lot of years and have always wanted to find one in just the right shade of tan/light brown and I was gonna stain it to try to match my ASAT camo. I eventually gave up on the whole idea.
Then the other day I was in Cabellas and danged if they didn't have some felt crusher type fedoras already camoed! They're nice and soft so the brim doesn't bother the bow string much but I'll probably add a snap to the brim and the crown both just above my right eye like I did on m green one. Then it'll be my perfect hunting hat.
Well, here, I just looked it up on line and found it. I got the one with the ear flaps but doubt I'll ever use them.

I bought the XL size. I've got a big ol' melon head and usually wear a 7 1/2 (or 7 3/8 if I have a buzz haircut). It's just a tiny bit big on me but I figure it may shrink at some point if I get it soaked in the rain.
I had my friends wife make me a fleece bucket hat. I absolutely love it. It is the only hat with a brim that doesn't interfere with my bow string. I even tried the Stormy Kromer short brim and could not shoot with it. Day One makes a hat like I am decribing called the Crusher hat. I have noticed that my ears do not get cold when wearing it. I have even been bringing a fleece headband style head warmer just in case and I have not needed it.

KOM Bomber or Gray Wolf Bomber, I like the snaps on the Gray Wolf it's the best hat I own.
Gray Wolf Bomber is indeed a fine hat.
Filson. I wear a orange that has ear pull downs and a dark green lining so there is no reflection on my glasses.
ANY of the name brands would be a good bet.

LL Bean has a nice wool Jones style hat, I like mine.
A stormy Kromer short brim if ya can find one. They stopped making them but have some on blow price for $10.00. I need an xl.
I bought a Gray Wolf Wool Radar Cap this year and that is my new favorite hat. Check it out on their site.

That one is my favorite. Wool watch-type cap from Sports Authority or Wal-Mart or such. Next is a neck aiter worn as a cap. Then that woo "jeep" cap, also known as a "Radar cap" that was listed in a link above. Didn't know you could still get them. I washed mine and it shrank... dag-nabbit!
