I like my cowboy hats, but they aren't camo or crushable.
I like my boonie hat a lot, but the small brim really doesn't give much cover.
I also like my Outdoor Research hat a lot, but the polar fleece lining makes it best really only when it is cold and raining, a summer hat it is not.
So I put on my thinking cap, lol, looked for a similar pattern and started making a hat that is a combination of my two favorite hats, my boonie and my OR hat.
I'm doing it in digital camo, it is modeled off of the OR hat, with a slightly wider brim on the sides, theirs is more oblong, mine is a tad more circular like the boonie. And it is more like the boonie in that there is no polar fleece lining so I can wear it in hot weather. I'm going to add grommets in the sides with a little mesh to help air it out, maybe a hidden compartment inside... hrm
Anyway, here it is I'm still working on it, the bottom half isn't on nor is the cord. I'm not a seamster, but I'm relatively creative I guess.
