Title: Where to buy short brimmed hat?
Post by: 1829 on July 02, 2014, 12:52:00 PM
Been nosing around looking for a short brimmed hat to wear while shooting and hunting. Need two...one for bug juice while shooting at the house and a clean one one for up in the tree. Many that I've seen are solid colors (i.e. tan, O/D green, gray, black, etc.). I'm kind of looking for camo ones. The Wensel brothers "Bowhunters Lid" fits the bill but I'd like different camo options (if they exist).

Thanks in advance gang.

How about the ones that Trad Gang sells ? I lime them . I do wish they had more different cameo to chose from . I do most of my shooting with one on .

May life's simplest things bring you the greatest pleasures !!!!

I got a hat as a gift from the Trad archers of New jersey and I think its exactly the same as the trad gang hat,,,, if so get it they re perfect PLUS there is a wire inside the brim so you can shape it so it doesn't interfer with your string or just go with the gomer pile look like I do...

I made mine.  Took a regular long brimmed hat that I liked and did some modifications to it.  Turned out looking like it was manufactured that way.  I'll try to post a pic if I get a chance.

I don't wear hats or caps all the time, but have a thin cotton camo hat that I cut the brim down and I carry it in my cargo pocket for when the sun gets in my eyes.

Post by: Bladepeek on July 02, 2014, 08:06:00 PM
Yeah, but for that to work, you gotta wear it backwards with the brim to the front   :)

The Two Tracks e-mail has been down for a while. I put both a fleece and felted wool coups cap on my wish list there. I figure lambing season is in progress...

Also, ClassicSportsman has some very nice ones in woods-friendly plaid wool.  Another option is a crushable wool outback style hat or a boonie hat.

The wire brim hat has been discontinued unfortunately. We buy direct and were told that last time we ordered so we bought them out...hope they change their mind but don't see that happening.

The Classic Sportsman sells a hat with a short brim especially for the bowhunter. They are a sponsor here so finding the site isn't a problem.

"The Nocking Point" has short brimmed hats in solid olive and brown camo. Believe they are $9.95. Give Shiela or Terry a call. Very well made military style with good strap size adjustment, not the cheap plastic. Best hat for the money I've found and I am hard to please when it comes to hats.   :thumbsup:

There's a guy that goes by Slangvel on Facebook and **** that makes short brimmed boonie hats in nearly any pattern you could want. They're definitely on the expensive end of pricing (about $45 shipped) but I got one in Austrian Dot Camo and it's really nice. It adjusts in size and you can get them with venting around the top for warm weather hunting.
