I know I'm courting disaster by posting a fashion-related question on a shooting board. (I've seen pictures of some of you people [smile]). But I figure some of you must have some good gear.
What kind of hat do you wear for shooting? I'm trying to achieve a delicate balance here, and reccommendations are always helpful. Must meet the following criteria:
--Black or Tan (no cammo!)
--Broad-brimmed to keep the burning eye of the sun off my non-tannable skin
--Nice enough to wear for general public use, but not so nice that I can't wear it at the range, dove fields, etc.
--Not made by the Red Chinese or any sweatshop
--Does _not_ make a man look like:
a) an urban cowboy
b) a desperate Sojer o' Fortune wannabe
c) a mall ninja with an NEF handirifle
Boonie-esque is okay as long as it's not an actual issue-style boonie. I do love boonie covers, but need something just a little more civvy to wear in town and range.
I realize many of you can wear cowboy hats without shame, and that solves your "shooting hat" dilemna. That's all well and good for ranchers and the like, but what about the rest of us? Humbly submitted, -MV
