Admiral, the sort of hat my grandfather would wear with desert boots and flak jacket when setting fort to massacre the greenfly that attacked his roses.
I have the one in the middle; it was purchased online from Gentleman's Emporium in San Jose for pocket change as opposed to expensive "originals" found in antique shops and flea markets.
It is very nice to wear in an open top auto with the chin strap to keep it on.
"In every battle the eyes are the first to be conquered..."
- Tacitus, Germania
"One must work in solitude as a man who opens a clearing in virgin forest, sustained by the unique hope that somewhere in its depths, others are working to the same end."
- Ernst Jünger
"I find that I must go handsomely, whatever it costs me, and the charge will be made up in the fruit it brings."

Think I wore it once, mowing the yard...Lord, those things are uncomfortable.
