I wish I could find the jonesy style hat somewhere if anyone has any info. But since I have drawn a blank, I was woundering what you guys suggest for a good hat that has a brim that worx well with traditional. I know that there is the military boonies, but what does like Larry jones wear? My jonesy hat basically disingrated when I washed it.

A few ideas here...

Grey Wolf makes a crusher cap , could be made in their plaid or a green wool, fold up the back and its pretty jonesy.

I really like stormy kromers, great hat and quite versitle, good lookin too.

I think this answers the age old, "what is Larry D wherein nowadays"  question.  

 

Day one crusher hat,

  found here...  

pick your flavor and material, fold up the back and you have a packable Jones hat.

After a bunch of trial and error, I am now using a brown Kangol 504 for a lot wear at the range, the woods and around town.  When shooting I turn it backwards but it works ok with the brim forward too.  

I also keep a camo/waterproof boonie in my pack.

Check out  www.wildthingsfur.com  I just received a "Free trapper hat" made from three oppossum pelts and the bill is made from beaver tail.      :eek:    :eek:          

I love the hobby of "Buckskinning" so fur hats fit me just fine for hunting, and trecking.

Good luck and watch your top knot!!

A Tilley.

The old style Adirondack wool crushers are hard to beat and they are still cheap--15-18 $. I think the brand was Effanian or close to that. They did come in many colors and camo to.

Travisc406,

Got this hat from Hatcountry.com.  100% Wool, made in the U.S.A by Bailey.  Is very pliable and I have no problem shooting with it.

For my money in the winter, it is a wool Kangol hands down.  Summer time, I just pick up whatever cotton boonie hat I can find on sale, they usually last 3-4 summers before they fall apart from washing.

Trad tech and 3-rivers got some good ones.

this is a "Jones" hat. this one from ll bean

Go check out Raven's link.  That possum looks better than it sounds.  

nope , might get my head shot off , down here in cajun country...that be dangerous , whearing that!!    

Yea, nothing like the hunter being hunted!      :eek:      

Bayoulongbowman, you need one made of gator skin. It would be water proof and alot cooler in all the heat/humidity.  :p  

The way I see it, it can't be any worse than the guys crawling around in gile suits or sitting in a hidden groundblind only a few yards from a deer/turkey decoy. Never know who may be lurking around with a highpowered rifle and take a crack shot at your set-up.    Had a friend turkey set-up get shot at from a guy hunting from the road. No one got hurt, thank goodness.

In warm weather I usually use a short billed ball cap.  I think I'll invest in a Stormy Kromer for the winter; I saw a few of them at the local sports store and really like them.

I am like you, I have been using a Jones cap for over 35 yrs.  Mine also was falling apart.  One of my hunting pardners got me a new one a while back.  Think he got it from Cabelas'  Hope it lasts another 35 yrs.  

The only one I have seen that fits the bill is the one from LL bean. I will be ordering one of those unless anyone knowsof a camo one. thanx travis
