What hat would go well with this jacket?
What is a good hat that would go with this jacket? It's a great jacket, but there's no hood. So, while the rest of my upper body stays dry, my hair gets wet. For that reason, I'm looking for something water resistant. My budget is under 100 USD.
You're probably looking for a Stetson-style Western hat, something like this. Aside from the U.S. cultural signaling, keeping rain/sun off your head and shoulders is what that type of hat was meant for. An Australian-style range hat is a less-extreme alternative.
Oh yes, a Western style hat would be perfect! Thanks!
For a weathered jacket like that, I would go for a foldable kangaroo hat.
You can fold it up so it fits in the jacket pocket, remove it, and it bounces right back into shape. But over a few years of regular use, the hat will weather like your jacket.
Consider the optional chin cord, to keep it on your head.
Wow, that's a wonderful looking hat, thank you for linking to it!
