Looking for orange short brim bucket hat

Woodcock season opens tomorrow, and I got my dad's orange short brim bucket hat. It is made of dyed cotton, so it will fade. And when it rains, it will be like wearing a towel wrapped around your head in a shower. I do have a wide brim boony, high-visibility, but the wide brim sorta encourages you to keep your head up. I also have a orange Gore-Tex booney hat which is right nice in cold rain or very cold temps.

Is there any non-cotton, non-dyed blaze-orange or high-visibility short brim bucket hats out there?

Why, thanks for reminding me. Not. There is a short brim bucket from India, but it too is cotton. Either direct from the Red Menace, or a US seller.

Heck, I would even buy a Canadian bucket hat... (got to be carefull, watch the "documentary" film "Canadian Bacon") :eek:

probably the gore-tex one you have is the closest you'll get.
you might find a canvas one at someplace like LL-bean but I'd bet it's been died.

heck you can't even get a cork hat in Australia anymore.
