Appropriate sun hats?

[Rogerson785]

Here is a good hat from 5.11 that I wear.





It’s widely known that 5.11 Tactical Series® delivers functionally innovative gear from head to toe. So technically, that makes the Boonie Hat the “head,” while boots comprise the “toe.” This spring, 5.11 Tactical introduced a new color – coyote – to commemorate the 30th Anniversary of the 5.11 Tactical Pant. The color proved so popular, 5.11 also added a Boonie Hat, boots and socks in coyote. Popular with outdoor enthusiasts, the packable, traditionally styled Boonie Hat has a slightly ramped crown and a 2-1/4” brim. It’s constructed of the same 8.5-oz., 100% preshrunk cotton canvas as 5.11’s Tactical Pants for extra durability. The hat features vents on each side to help keep you cool, a lanyard for stability and easy attachment to bag or belt, and segmented webbing to easily affix camouflage. The Boonie now comes in three colors: coyote, TDU green and digital woodland, in sizes M, L and new XL. You’ll want at least one of each.

I know I'm inviting scorn by asking this question, but here goes: Does anyone know of a source for hats in the style of those Tilleys for about half the price? I like the look and I'm craving sun protection more as I age, but I can't justify that price.

You could always try L.L. Bean, Lands End, etc.

Haven't tried it with the kilt yet, though...
