Oil Cloth Hats

Prompted by necessary protection from the elements, men who worked at sea a hundred years ago devised a way of weather-proofing their crude canvas smocks. A coating of linseed oil was applied in an effort to waterproof pants, jackets, and even their hats. The process has changed only slightly today, and these oil cloth styles feature performance fabric from the British New Millerain Co., who offers the latest in fabric technology for breathable, laminated natural and synthetic fabrics. These are perfect rugged, durable and water repellent hats for every day in the field, on the river, or in the woods.
