Is the underbrim dark?  That's my favourite feature on any hat.

Tis indeed. Charcoal grey.

Last year offshore on the first day of a three day trip my comrades in baiting started remarking about how red the back of my neck looked. You know your in trouble when someone calls everybody over for a "look". Fortunately sunscreen was available in rather plentiful supply and for the first time in my life I slathered some on. Saved my keister.

Now I have the hat. A white hat. Good for offshore....... no good for canoe tripping. Ya gots to blend in the north bush baby 8-).
