Ep 3: Outdoor Hats Ain't For Indiana Jones Make-Believe
All about outdoor hats for survival, bushcraft, and wilderness backpacking. Do 'outdoor hats' like fedoras, cowboy hats, Australian outback hats, and so forth, serve legitimate purposes out in the backcountry? Or is it all for vanity and show? Is it just part of an 'outdoorsman costume'? Are there good reasons to make a brimmed hat a permanent part of your outdoor gear?
In this episode I show off a multitude of different brimmed hats and talk in detail about them: Fur felt fedoras, wool fedoras, leather fedoras, genuine Panama straw fedoras - both rigid and roll-up types - toboggans ('beanies' or knit hats), and even paper fedoras. I show off an actual Indiana Jones fine wool fedora made to the same specifications as the hats for the film Raiders of the Lost Ark. We talk about Miller Hats, Stetson, Hats In The Belfry, and Borsalino. I talk a bit about the Stetson Bozeman Outdoor Hat.
I'll tell you all about where Genuine Panama Straw Fedoras come from and how they got their name. It involves a man named Theodore Roosevelt and a visit he made to the Panama Canal.
