Check out this guy, hat maker in Darby, Montana.  He has Guatemalan straw hats and they are terrific, call him for details - they ran about $100.00

He has made hats for lots of famous people and is the nicest guy you will ever meet.

I would never buy one, but it does have certain charm.  The Optimo Naturale for only $7500.00

You might consider a Tilly... you can wash 'em, the Air Flow model has mesh near the top, making it cool.  Great sunblock.  And they have a nice guarantee.

haha Steve...have you thought a custom hat? Like a BTO!  Difference straw choices, bindings, etc.   ;)

On a serious note, what do you plan on planting???

A simple fedora is timeless.

If I had to work in the field shown in the opening post and I had a reasonable expectation of privacy, this is the hat I would don, a pith helmet with a solar powered fan:

mgap, while I was scrolling down through your pic, I seriously thought it was going to be a pic of the Home Shopping man in black who sells guitars because the black hat showed up first. ;D

Oh, I forgot to add that I'm going to strangle Captain Jim for posting info on the tilley hats! :o Wow, they are new to me, but I LOVE them!!!
