I wear natural unvarnished straw hats that I find at feed stores around the local area and use a bandana as a hatband so it can be easily adjusted thru the year
Have found some nice ones in Atwoods Ranch and Home and Tractor Supply and Newkirks Feed Store
Unvarnished you say, that did not dawn on me but every fella I run into around here who is from Mexico or Ecuador wears those kinds of hats.
Maybe that is the trick with straw hats as my Resistol is varnished and it does not have any absorbing ability and sweat just rolls off in rivers.
Nosir, I don't wrap nothin around my head (Hey, it's raining!?ÿ It hasn't rained here in, oh, almost 5 months!) when I wear a hat out working.?ÿ I only wear cowboy hats, unless I am forced to wear a hardhat.?ÿ I do keep my hair short, unless I forget to get a haircut.?ÿ I also don't sweat quite as much as other folks.?ÿ I dunno why.?ÿ I think growing up in the heat just became a part of my way of doing things.?ÿ It takes me about a year to get a sweat stain showing on a working felt hat.?ÿ Another thing of growing up wearing cowboy hats, I can keep mine on in a wind that makes other guys chase their ballcaps.?ÿ
carry it to the dry cleaners and ask them to starch it how you want it
Some years back one of the Texans on this board posted a photo of the hat he wore in the field. He was a very opinionated fellow and I imagine he put a lot of thought into the practicality of this headgear:
Needless to say, he was disappointed by the reception:
