I have an older L.L. Bean ragg wool touring cap with ear flaps. Toasty, but they don't make it anymore.

When all you warm folks are dieing of some nasty mosquito borne illness I'll happily be out plowing snow, hat or no.  =D

Actually, I never thought to clarify, but I'm not really in Jacksonville - in fact, much further from it than I actually thought. I'm 3.8 miles north of St. Augustine on A1A. Takes me 10 minutes to get into downtown St. Aug, almost an hour to get to downtown Jax. Or would if I actually went there, which I haven't yet. But if any of y'all find yourselves in this area, the door is open. Bring ears though. Waves crashing on the beach all night makes it hard to sleep sometimes.

And I'll take a group of rednecks over a group of metrosexual yuppies any day of the week.

Classic hat for when the fedora isn't cutting it ear wise.

Ball cap for most occasions.  Hard to find one that fits just right. Have a small smattering of these (one is required for work).
Knit acrylic/wool thick stocking cap for cold/ below cold conditions. Have a few (one with work logo).
Fedora for rare occasions, black wool.  Matches my trench coat and pea coat nicely, warm, stylish.
Bowler for extremely rare occasions.  I look awesome in it and have worn it exactly once.  And no, not with a wifebeater, sports jacket, and tie. =D

I wore one like that for many winters.  =)

Still have it but it's pretty grungy now and the earflaps were never much good in my opinion.

Trouble is that most places where it is warm all year have too dam many freaking people  :mad:

Yup. That's why I'm retiring somewhere in interior Alaska where the winters drive out all but the hardiest of riff-raff.

Here's mine. It's the first one in the second pic before it was shipped to me. Made from elk skin and beaver with a polar fleece liner. It's too hot to wear unless it's about 20* F or colder.

Of course since you are going to be out and about in the Philly area at night and even Detroit for that matter this might be what you are looking for........

My Glock baseball hat recently died. I might be able to fix it without it looking stupid, but losing a 'perfect' ballcap is a sad occasion.
I probably will soon be on a hunt for a new one.

In Detroit, a ball cap worn backwards or with the bill to the side will be ok.  Any other hat will make you "bait".  In Philly, anything with pink on it will do just fine.....chris3

The baseball cap I wear when shooting is made by Sperry (boat shoes) and on the back is embroidered, "Get Wet!"

I hear a lot of snickers behind me when it's my turn up, but no comments to my face.  =D
