I was given this hat and it was my favorite, it was branded rab but they didn't make it, it was another brand that the name was slapped on for reps to hand out.

I lost it while climbing, and haven't been able to find a replacement quite like it. It was a synthetic material, with a flexible brim. I remember there being a manufacturer's logo inside the headband but cannot remember the name.

Doesn't need to say rab on it, just looking for the same or similar hat that can crush up and for in my pocket, but still looks and works like a normal cap. 5 panel would be OK too.

Any advice is welcomed! Please feel free to delete if this isn't the right place for this.

This guy has some great looking hats

I'm going to buy a Conner Hat model Merrik Cotton Newsboy Cap, and measuring my head size I got a 58~59cm. So this means my size is L.

Should I get L size or go for the next size for a better fit?

Getting clothes and accessories over the internet make me feel a little un-confortable due previous experiences getting products with a wrong size, even when the measuring tables showed a "correct" size.

Thanks for your comments!

What should i use to clean this hat?

I love this hat but during a recent move my roommate smushed this hat between items and I don’t know how to remove the crease. Any advice welcomed ❤️

It was puffy, kind of like a trucker hat but when you pressed down on the material it felt kind of mesh-y(??). The brim and forehead part of the cap was very puffy. The back mesh where the adjuster is, is black. IIRC it had a brown square in the middle (leather looking) that had the word “Hurley” and its logo.

Got it about 4 years back but it was stolen when I went to an amusement park :/

Been looking for it online since then but can’t find it anywhere. A lot of things LOOK like it but I can’t find it directly. Any help would be appreciated!!

I love this hat but my dog destroyed it, I would like to buy another but can’t find it anywhere picture of me wearing hat attached.

It’s a raptors hat if that helps.

I know that Panama hats aren't the most favored thing out there, but I bought the pictured hat at Disney Spings one day....Having a bald head in the Florida sun was just more than I could bear. Being that I purchased it at Springs, I've always assumed that I paid too much. Tourist trap and all that.

A few years on, and I was starting to REALLY love it's character, even where the sweat line was starting to show, the personality of the hat just made me happy. I got picked on a bit for it - looking like a Florida tourist in Texas....but after a but of thought, I used it as a lead in to spread the word about my airbnb. And the fact that I had some melanoma cut off my the top of said bald head encouraged my wearing of said hat.

Due to a series of unfortunate events outside my control, my hat was destroyed.

Please help me find one similar. I've looked at these sites -

https://bellissimohats.com/search?type=product&q=panama*
https://www.panamahatsco.com/new-products-2/cb1266oc7fpqo9i5dzx5rayzkaxw7f
https://www.baileyhats.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=panama&products.sort=price~desc
https://www.borsalino.com/us_en/man/man-hats?page=22

And there are dozens more.

And then 'the experts' that make these sites start telling you why you should trust them and no one else. (And a lot of these hat sites didn't seem.....legit?)

And then my ADHD takes over and I'm doomscrolling or clicking through hundreds of pages of hats and hat information.

I've learned there are different weaves, and a lot of hats that I see have a square looking weave pattern to them. The pictures that I have of my hat, the weave looks herring-boned. Does that make sense? I'd REALLY like to have have I already had and loved.

I had initially wanted to stay in the sub-$300 (barely, 2020 money) price range, because that's what I'd paid for my hat. 2 months of not having it anymore, and I don't care...I just want my hat back. Winter is cold on this large bald cranium, and the Texas summer will be as unforgiving as ever.....

Mad Hatters, please show me the way.

Does anyone know of a brand that fits with the identical comfort of Nike’s Heritage 86 unstructured caps? I haven’t been able find anything that fits as perfect as a heritage 86 and I’d like others hats besides Nike.

Thanks in advance!

Looking to understand more about this scene. Any idea what style of hats these are? What era? What country?

Just a small selection of my hat collection 🎩

Saw a guy in the pub with a hat I liked... But hat do I need to Google to buy one?
