1) Bud Racing (not that I support that brand of car, but I support the Budweiser)
2) Ford hat w/ white flames on it
3) Kenny Bernstein Budweiser racing hat w/ flames (there again.. for the budweiser) And they were both free
4) Central Arkansas Farm & Home hat
5) Cheepo cowboy hat from OK Corral for working outside or whatnot.
6) My camo Duncan's Outdoor hat that I got when I bought my 4 wheeler from the local John Deere/Yamaha place.
As for the "summer hats" with the mesh in the back, you can still find them but you gotta look. I found that O'reillys sells/gives away their hats like that. If you gotta buy them, they are only 3 bucks and they last quite a while.
I have 1 hat that I will wear & not that often:
A Bud - Dale Jr. hat (i think Jr. is a hottie & I drink Bud, oh, it goes well with my red hair)
Other that that, if I'm having a bad hair day I wear one of the many different colored bandanas, very comortable & not itchy.
My fav is red and has a #9 on it and my 2nd fav is a red and black one with "ELLIOTT" and a #9 on it. I have a few others that I wear occasionally, a couple Braves baseball caps, a bunch of FREE hats from metal cutting tool manufacturers, and my Duke Blue Devils hat. Can't forget that one.........
I have one cap ("Ford Racing") that was purchased. The rest are freebees (around 10). My current favorite is a black "Cisco Systems" cap my son gave me. Speaking of caps, I clean mine in the dishwasher - does a great job.

Cairns and Bros. Sam Houston when I need a hard lid to cover my dome at work. Otherwise any free hat will do, except in the rain and then it is my custom rolled(behind the truck seat brim bend) straw hat.
