Title: Hats of the traditional archer
Post by: gvdocholiday on January 31, 2012, 01:06:00 PM
While at Kzoo this past weekend my wife and I enjoyed seeing all the different style of hats that everyone was wearing and/or selling.  

We both enjoyed the fact that many of these hats didn't contain logos or marked any company affiliation that has plagued the wheely side of the market.

Though there were several different style of hats, we enjoyed that they all seemed to be synonymous with trad archers.  

I'm interested to see what hats ya'll wear and where you got them from.  

I picked up a olive drab mil-style hat with a wire lined brim from the Footed Shaft display this weekend and I'm really enjoying it.

Charlie, the hat and the ground blind both look good and comfy.

I usually just wear my good old boonie hat compliments of Uncle Sam.

Hey Greg, where did you find that hat in pic number 2?  The camo cadet style?  That's similar to the one I just got, but mine is od green.  I love the wire lined brim.

I'd love to wear a "mountain man" type" fur hat, but I'd always have the feeling someone would have it in their crosshairs!!

My favorite cap. It's just a cheap golf cap that I put a Predator Green camo pattern on.
I call it "Mulie Magic" for a couple of reasons. #1- Since I began wearing it,I've been more fortunate than I deserve when it comes to getting chances at mule deer bucks. #2- It annoys the heck out of Schlaggerman when I offer to "loan" it to him to change his luck on mulies. He's by far the better hunter and archer, but this cap is magic!

I have worn this lid since the 80s

And this one is a favorite, but seems to be an elk jinx.

The Filson rancher style is my fave when the temps go down.

Same here. I have one of the old camo versions as well. Too bad they don't make it in a camo pattern anymore.

Love my new Plenty Coups, too! And my wool Day One ASAT crusher, and...

Wait till Bernie shows up with pics of his hat full of pins and other drivel....that thing will screw up a compass it got so much metal on it!  :)

Not sure but I think that hat is the reason Bernie sports no hair... the added weight would blow out a cervical disc!  :laughing:    :nono:

So many hats and so little time.

I wore this Beaver Creek fedora for a time. It was hard to shoot with due to the stiff beaver brim so now I wear it out to the store in the winter.
 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0603/reddogge/Archery/IMG_0574.jpg)

Now I seem to wear the short brimmed hat with the wire brim from the Wensels and autographed by the Wensels and Mike Mitten. Good Mojo.
