My OH just pointed something out to me about the front cover picture on this weeks Horse and Hound.
The Huntsmen havent got straps on their hats, I've never been to a hunt but i would imagine that their hats are the same as anyone elses with straps?
 
Depends on the individual, just like anything else. I wouldn't entertain the thought of wearing a hat without straps, even if the hat was made to measure, but that's me.

They're not huntsmen, by the way - just field members, according to the caption on the inside page.
 
Personally I could never ride in one of those hats, they offer little or no protection as they are very thin and lightweight, plus they could fall off since they're not secured! But quite a few people still seem to wear them hunting (which is one of the most dangerous of horsey sports with thrills and spills galore...). Are they mad?! I certainly think so! :O
