Blain's Hat from Predator

[Mechamaniac]

I'm trying to identify Blain's hat from Predator

I used to think it was a regular "boonie" hat, but the more I look at it, I realize that it's not.

Regular Boonie Hat...

Blain's hat...

another...

One from the back...

The closest I can come online would be one of these...

Or this one (but Blain's hat doesn't have a snap)

But Blain's hat either doesn't have the curve in the top, or it is just squashed and weathered out of shape.

Suggestions?

Isn't that an Australian Bush hat, with a snakeskin band?

Yeah it's like a camo cloth covered Akubra.
Called an "Aussie Slouch Hat" or maybe "Jacaru" style.
I don't thnk Akubra makes the Camo version though they do have cloth and the real rabbit fur felt...

Shouldn't be hard to locate...

Good luck.
