Aussie Style Hats
Hi guys, I'm new to the wearing of orange this year. Now i'm not that fond of hats but can greatly see the advantages of good head gear in the hot/warm weather. I do have a couple of baseball type hats. But at the couple of meetings I have done this year, I have noticed a couple of you guys wearing what appears to be leather bush hats. Any hints as to wear I can get hold of one please. As this looks like the type of hat I would gladly wear, rain or shine. Many thanks for any help you can give me.
Kevin.

If you're up at Snetterton and get a lunch break (what's one of them!) then you can get them at the Sunday Market for about £20

I have worn an Australian hat since I started marshalling. I imported two from Australia, one Buffalo Hide for Marshalling and one softer Kangaroo Hide for family days out in hot sun.
http://www.barmahhats.com.au/ Not sure where I purchased mine from now, some on-line .au shop? Mine don't have a neck strap but some people prefer them with straps. Here are UK stockist (But they aint cheap!) http://www.hatsandthat.com/onlinesho...Shop.asp?id=13 http://www.minus10.co.uk/acatalog/Ba..._Products.html |

some outdoor wear shops have leatehr 'bush man' style hats for sale. i know Winfields in Haslingden (nr manchester) have them.
try Go Outdoors stores, Milletts or Blacks too. Also look at Tilley Hats. not leather, but cotton or hemp - excellent hats |

Ours are "cricket style" cotton wide brimmed hats, which do the trick without harming any live animals. Always managed with a baseball cap until we got these.
The fact that they say "New Zealand" and have a fern on the front is neither here nor there......... |

I would consider getting one but I know the Steve Irwin in me would take over and I'd starting chasing animals and shouting 'bugger.'
