I have no idea why, but safari and sun hats just look so dope. Do not have one yet and thinking about buying one maybe. Any good brand recommendations? Might see if a few of my gramp's Tilley's are still hanging around....

Here's what I'm talking about, only pics I could find:

more guys out there wearing them though. Looks sick with frogskins or knockarounds or helms.

I can't remember the name but there's a brand that makes them with unlimited warranty, no matter what, you lose it you get another, you break it you get another, I don't think they'd be too happy with you intentionally breaking it though.

i think i'm pretty much the only one over here who wears these, had nothing but good comments on my desert camo bush hat :)

i only wear it when chilling or filming though, skiing i'll wear my helmet all the time :/
