The flannel bucket hat I got from you is definitely a cold weather hat and my favorite after it turns cool. The short brim might be better in early season. I have a mesh bucket hat for warm weather.

Short soft brimmed hat

Your short brims for me. I have a short brim I never use.

Bucket hat suits me.

Bucket in the flannel material for cold weather. Bucket from materials I supplied in warm weather

The flannel, matches what I have in Swap thread.

Danny, I think those you made for me would be called bucket hats. I never heard that term back here until about a decade ago. I like them for year around. The camo you made me is plenty light enough for summer and early season.

I like the short, soft billed cap I got from you. It is lightweight material and excellent for most of our deer season down here in hot Texas.

When it gets cold, I have to opt for a wool watch cap but yours is still my favorite.

Here's a left to right, top to bottom...Woolrich bucket style from Monkeyball, Box Call hat of red/black wool from a shirt I sent to Dan. Stormy Kromer..really cold weather hat, and a Box Call camo. I also have a green/black hat that Dan made that stays in my truck so I always have it handy.

Bucket until it gets cold.

I think the bucket style is more effective breaking up the outline of the head.

After developing skin cancer on the back of my ear I wear a bucket/Boonie style hat in warm sunny weather. The billed style military hats I wore for 26 years didn’t do anything to protect the ears.

I have and wear all kinds of hunting hats. Tossel caps, short brimmed ball caps, long brimmed ball caps, military issued patrol hats, military issued boonie hats, military style jeep hats, short brimmed bucket hats, military issue pile caps. All depends on the weather what I wear.

George, you have my stormy cromer hat!!! Honestly, I have been wearing a dew rag thing. I have one for warm temps and one for cold. No brim at all.

My ideal would be bucket in wool flannel.

I like your bucket best. Conditions are ever changing here and nice to keep sun/water off my neck.

Dan Bucket hat for me

Dan Bucket hat for me

A bucket hat made of wool would be sweet.

bucket hat made of wool, yeah, I'd like that. I mostly just wear a baseball cap.

Bucket hat for me.

I like a boonie with about a 4" crown that will stand up and a 3" brim with wire in it. I've had to add the wire to all of mine, but the wire allows the brim to be flipped up for string clearance, and it will stay that way until turned back down for shade. The plastic "wire" doesn't work. I use insulated electrical wire and it will hold its shape.

The bucket hat. In colder weather a larger size bucket hat with a hard hat helmet liner that looks like a snoopy cap worn under the bucket type hat for keeping the ears and the back of the neck warm. (Who cares about fashion or what you look like when it's cold!)

Bucket hat !

I wear bucket hats because a) short brims work, and b) a front-only brim doesn't shade your eyes from the side.

My 3-D hat is probably not suitable for hunting...

Another vote for the bucket hat.

Hey Skeet, that's a throw back for me! Used to wear green hard hat insulators for cold weather hunts under my Jones style hat in the late 70s-early 80s! Still have a couple floating around somewhere.

One of my favorite hats for hunting till it gets real cold.

Will, that hat stays on pretty good while hanging from the ceiling. Must have quality elastic!!

Bucket.

I like the short brim boonie style hat that I got from you.

Cycling cap... short brim, lots of options

Thanks Griz, that was my first selfie, not a pretty sight.lol

I don't know the "official" name of this style of cap, but, a black and red one (I guess like GDS's) in this style would be a fine topping, indeed...

Love my bucket hats Dan,.

Just curious, what do you consider the 'cut-off' between 'bucket' and 'boonie' hat, as measured by brim width?

I've worn boonies in the past, thought the brim was excessive. I have one hat that could be called either, prefer 'just enough' brim. I only need longer brims when the sun is low in the sky, and I'm dumb enough to be facing the wrong direction ;-)

Use a dark green Stetson crushable felt type hat. Only cost about as much as two gimmie hats.

Jones style foam my favorite hard to find.

got both like both.but like Soldier the ball cap got my ears burned on the edges n peeled off, gets a little sun on the scar tissue and itches n drives me crazy. so the bucket is for me.

Like the hiking hat . Tyrolean/ Bavarian/Swiss Alps come to mind. Are these for sale? Thanks

What is the size? Thanks.

jones style, on backards.

Are these hats give a ways?

Sorry, forgot to say which I prefer and that would be a short brim fedora both (summer tropical ).

Normal brimmed bucket for me. And Dan, if you made it, I'd wear it!

Bucket hat

I like the short brim..

First lite brimmed beanie

Did I miss what a short soft brimmed hat looked like?

The green Stetson crushable I use is called the Expedition. It sells for about fifty percent more than what I paid in the past, but it's a decent hat and the bill bends easily enough.
