Looking for recommendations. I’ve got a Tilley and its nice... just looking for something I can stuff in the pocket and not worry about it. Would be nice if it dried quick and offered some sun protection.

- Start date
Other than Crye, I haven't found one. The local mil surplus stores are full of "proper" brand stuff that is made overseas. I have 2 US made boonies, one in woodland and one in desert. Both are marked R&B Inc. They are probably 15 to 20 years old at this point, and I haven't been able to find a source for them...
I’ve seen the R&B’s, think they’re who made the military boonies when I was in. Haven’t seen a cyre in person and I’m more vanilla (solid colors, green) than a multicam. If its a solid hat I’d take a look at it though.
Well you inspired me to search out R&B again...
Don't know anything about gi joes military surplus, but they have a bunch of R&B hats available. Solid colors too... That said, cotton twill doesn't dry particularly quickly...

Made in USA, Grumpy old Veteran made, short brim,
+100 for Slangvel. I got a few of his many years ago for myself and others. They are still going strong. I'm not a hat guy, but I love these.
I have a bunch of Slangvel hats...best I have ever seen.
If you have a FB account, he is on there. I didn't know he had an eBay site.
He is also a Veteran if that matters to you

lol he got pissed at me once.
He was making M40 type caps (with the bill, not the garrison hat) that were a mix of a current baseball cap and the original M40. He mentioned he was doing some customer orders. So I emailed him and asked if he would do the silver officers lining on the M40.
Oh man. Apparently he doesn't like Germans, let alone German officers very much. After his rant, I could never get him to answer an email ever again. lol
US made and cheap..
