  - Maybe. It doesn't seem to have a specific name. It'll turn up when searching for "outback hat" and "safari hat". Maybe even "fishing hat". -- (link) - Mop Jul 20, 18:58 18
    - That's the hat I have. Snaps and all. (no logo of course) Bought it at Sport's Authority for $15 -- nm - Bacon the Kook Jul 20, 19:59

        See, I was going to say this. The classic floppy wide-brim is really a woman's hat. -- nm - mara Jul 20, 19:09 1
        
        I disagree. mop could *own* that hat. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 20, 19:10
        
        I don't know what they're called but I wore mine just today....(this was taken last summer) -- (link) - MojaveMeg Jul 20, 19:05 [flickr] 9
        
        that there is a Tilley hat. (nice pic!) -- nm - loosilu Jul 20, 19:41 6
        
        Actually it's made by Ouray, but must be custom made for the museum. Ouray doesn't show them in their catalog. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 20, 19:47 5
        
        ah, don't know them! Tilley is the big name for that type of hat. Bery owns one. he wears it in some of his pics. -- nm - loosilu Jul 20, 19:52 4
        
        I don't think Bery's is quite that widebrimmed (and thus not quite that floppy), but I could be wrong. -- nm - mara Jul 20, 19:54 3
        
        not sure about the brim, but for sure it is a real Tilley. he has said so. -- nm - loosilu Jul 20, 19:59 2
        
        Oh, I know Bery's is a Tilley. I'm just saying it's not as floppy as Mop seems to want. -- nm - mara Jul 20, 20:00 1
        
        ahhh, gotcha. but they do make floppy ones. -- nm - loosilu Jul 20, 20:01
        
        I like it -- nm - Epiphany Jul 20, 19:11 1
        
        Not only do I wear it as a sun hat but it's great when I walk the dog in the rain. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 20, 19:14

Even NPR reported he was wearing a helmet. Is this in doubt now? -- (link) - mara Jul 20, 18:14 3
