Hats on safari

[samson7x]

I know Rands comes to DSC. Do they sell hats there or just take orders? Assuming I liked a style there, would they be able to fit it to me? I have a goofy shaped head I guess, and generic hats don’t fit me well.

Not elephant, but Africa: I am partial to baseball style caps myself, and so much the better if they say Africa Hunting.

They take orders only. They take measurements of your head and make a custom hat for you, so a goofy shaped head would be no problem. I like their hats, so I have multiples for different occasions.

They do have some available if you’re lucky enough to find one in your size

No Zone Hat – Dakine

A floating sun hat for creating your own shade Flat water or surf, you need to create your own shade on the water. Our wide-brim No Zone Hat delivers sun coverage in a ventilated water-friendly design. An adjustable chinstrap defies the wind, while foam brim inserts keep it afloat should it get...

Have a look at these. I’ve one and it’s very cool in the hot weather gives great shade. Has a ventilation on the back. I cut the cord off of mine. Maybe the flowers will give the ph and trackers a good laugh but they do come in other colours.

My dermatologist and I have entirely too frequent an association. Therefore, in Africa, I usually wear something with a brim. I have tried a stiff brimmed hat, which worked great while hunting, but was a pain for air travel.

This is a Barron and the same one they made for Redford's character in out of Africa. I decided the puggaree would be a bit over the top. It still finds its way to quail hunts and dove shoots, but it is too much trouble for air travel. He looked better in it.

Several years ago I discovered a cotton Tilley that is just about perfect. Have no idea the model name. However, it rolls up easily and provides great sun protection. It even has a bit of the Stewart Granger look without appearing like a sport on his first safari.

I would rather stay home than be caught wearing a pith helmet.

That Barron is a damn fine hat, sir.

My hat's off to a guy who is not afraid to be original.

The Tilley Airflow hat is my favorite. Lots of shade and good ventilation.

I just got a Tilley Ultralight T5 Classic and really like it. Might be my new go to hat for hot weather hunting.
