    If you want black canvas you take what you have and a tin of boot polish -

    He made it almost to Thanksgiving. But his condition (laminitis) was getting worse and worse. He finally laid down and was unable to get back up, so we had to put him down.

    I like the look and understand why some lean toward the wide brim hat, but, this is a personal choice and understand there are time the ball cap is more practical.

    Where did you get the sporran?

    I do have a straw "sun helmet", and it's very shady and cool, since the sweat can evaporate through it. But I really only wear that when I'm doing serious sweaty work in full sun. It's a pretty odd hat and I won't wear it out in public unless I'm looking for laughs. My USAF boonie hat gets used too.

    For some reason, my body shape doesn't work with brimmed hats. Every time I've worn a full brimmed hat, I feel like I'm all out of proportion. Some guys just look right in them, and some guys don't. Maybe it's the shape of my face, or the size of my shoulders, but something's weird!

    But despite all that, I'm seriously thinking about getting one of those Tilley hats that are lightweight and ventilated. Seems like the perfect hot-weather hat, and would probably go OK with the rest of what I'm wearing. None of it matches anyway, LOL.

    I have a Bonner mesh-top bucket that is similar with the mesh up top. It is my go-to sunny weather cap for now, but usually when I am in hiking or park-hopping garb.
    Have fun and throw far. In that order, too. - o1d_dude

    I have these: http://www.tilley.com/The-TH4-Hemp-Hat.aspx and http://www.tilley.com/LT5B-Breathable-Nylon-Hat.aspx

    The second one I bought when on vacation on Jersey (in blue), it's better for rainy weather. The hemp is better for hot and humid conditions.
    And, the outfit is nicely put together BTW.

    The gear is slightly remenisent of what I would consider as traditional outdoorsy; however I picture a Aussie snap-brim twill hat instead of ball cap, and having one side up might cure the shoulder/jawline imbalance you describe. but I'm just a jarhead so what would I know! Lol good luck and it looks comfy.

    The snap brim would look jaunty. I wholeheartedly agree on the hose tops. I often wear my diced hose tops with Coolmax ankle socks and 8" logger boots to games in the area.
