    Boonies and Buckets...and Cloches

    So are you saying you prefer a bucket or boonie to a Tilley? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Boonies and Buckets...and Cloches

    I actually did a lengthy and detailed review of the Tru-Spec boonies on Amazon (back in 2015--so you'll have to scroll a few pages to find it). The review was an A/B comparison between the Tru-Spec and my GI boonie that was issued to me in the Army. The review is under the screen name...

    Berets, Anyone?

    With all due respect, I've never met a beret yet that can stop a bullet, shrapnel, or flying debris. Berets are part of the garrison uniform. We never worn them in the field. A Kevlar helmet, a boonie for hot weather ops, or a watch cap for cold weather ops. Is the beret the international...

    Berets, Anyone?

    So I had a surprise this morning. I showed my wife this thread (the photos, really) and asked, "What do you think of berets?" She said she likes them. I said, " For men or women?" So to my surprise she said, "Men. I think they look really masculine." Dang it, you guys! Now I'm going to have to...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I suppose I should refine my style a bit like you gents. Perhaps after 32 years in Alaska including 7 years in the US Army, I'm a little "Bush". Hiking the trails today in my Tru-Spec boonie Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Boonies and Buckets...and Cloches

    I like it, but I think technically that's not a boonie. That's a Safari or Tilley style. I really like the neck flap (not sure what the proper name for that piece is yet). That's really nice in the hot sun. If your 2 Tru-Specs are like the one I posted in the OP, I have no doubt you can tell a...

    Berets, Anyone?

    All good points. I'd only ever wore my Army beret under a GI Gortex coat hood once or twice. I can see how you'd value it in cooler temps when you're wearing a hood; however IME, my ears always got cold in a beret. I prefer the watch cap, personally. I do think berets can look good at times...

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    I'm eagerly awaiting a Borsalino 8/4 linen cap in oatmeal color. Should be here by Thursday at the latest, I think. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Got blocked by Simmons Bilt Instagram because my comment

    Strange. A comment of "looks ALMOST LIKE" shouldn't be cause for alarm or offense. Unless there's something more behind the scenes. Do you believe that it's actually cowhide? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Henley shirts?

    I love henleys. I look good in them. My wife loves me in them. I own several. When I lived in the frozen North (Alaska), I wore them often. Down in hot Texas, I don't wear them as much but I still own several. Looks good under a leather jacket or coat or a denim jacket. Sent from my iPhone...

    Love it. I don't know what it is about a puggaree instead of a hatband, but I just love pugs! That hat has a nice color combo too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I agree 100%, but I'm American so my views are biased. I grew up with guns in the house. My father was a professional hunting guide and I owned my first rifle at 10 years old. I don't think "guns are the Devil". I agree, if you're going to take your boys to a military festival, you should be...

    Boonies and Buckets...and Cloches

    Who else here is a fan of boonies and/or bucket hats? I was first introduced to the boonie hat just a few short years ago when my Uncle Sam issue them to me. I currently own 4 boonies. The two I got in the Army and two that I bought in the civilian world. What's my fascination (or obsession...

    Sadly, my favorite Borsalino cap and I have parted ways

    Hmm...fast forward to 2017 and it seems Borsalino is still alive and well and still making hats in Italy. Sounds like a certain salesman was trying to make a sale through deceit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
