Snap-Brim Jungle Hat

This hat was featured Spring/Summer 1986 and also Spring 1988. It is similar to the Desert Hat, another bucket style hat which preceded it as well as the Roll-Up Hat.

From the catalogue: “We won’t elaborate on all the things that can fall on your head in the tropics, aside from excessive sun–suffice to say a hat is vital. Wide-brimmed hats, though, hit the backpack behind your head, snag in dense vegetation, and don’t pack well. Solution: the 100% cotton Snap-Brim Jungle Hat, with flexible brim that fastens up front and back as needed and air grommets all around for coolness. And it can be rolled up and stuffed into a pocket. Panamas are fine for town; when trailblazing lies ahead, this is the hat we take.”
