Old Poop Hats!
Old Poop Hat
Well, I was digging in my drawers and found this! An Old Poop Hat! No not those drawers, the ones on Sweet Pea. Not not Sweet PEE. And no since Sweet Pea, its not the Boatress’s drawers. Okay, have we got all those out of the way?
Rip at top where close call of fishing hook was?
Anyway i found this old hat all covered in paint and torn up, and you know what? It’s my new favorite hat. Hands down the best hat I have. Fits like a glove and you cant even tell its on your head cause its so light.

So why the Name Old Poop? Well, for those of you older film buffs, you can watch this great clip and recall the name. Now I get it. Why these are so cool for fishing.
So? here is the only issue. When I went out on WECATCHEM, does it look like I am trying to hard to be be Norman? I will add, its a lot more useful and part of the classic boat culture than the yacht cap the Boatress yells at me each time I put it on. So do you have an old poop in your drawers? Really?

Great topic. Some Old Poop hats might have rare or specific zippers on them- and of course, there is a subliminal toilet seat tie in.
Beware of the “click here” option today but IF you do, the “you may also like” section is very entertaining!
I like this hat!
Do you like my hat?
I do, I do like your hat!
So basically you are bragging about rummaging around in the Boatress’ drawers? Sounding more like Troy🤣
I still like my skipper hats. Some of which would give your Old Poop hat a run for “Most Tired Looking”.
They fit like a glove and are my favorites too.
But I like you Old Poop hat. Very nice original.
That is vintage cool with all the “scramble eggs” on the bill. This was what my grandfather would wear who I boated with since I was 2 or 3. Watching that clip of OGP reminds me so much of home in Maine on Sebago Lake. I’ve watched that movie more than 20 times. What is unbelievable was that Katherine Hepburn could start that vintage outboard with one pull, left handed. But that’s Hollywood in NH. Wonder how many takes before it really started.
I found out that while Canada might let me transport bacon to Port Huron, the US will not let me bring it back in. And then the Bills traded a bunch of quality draft picks to grab a guy whose upside is to be the next Rob Johnson…at best. So, I come here for something uplifting and all you have is a story about old men rummaging through their drawers and pulling out poop to stick on their head?
This is going to be a long day!
HA! Dam, that just about sums it up!
Hats make it more fun.
I’m with Bernie on that!
My dad wore these hats thru the ’70s, before switching to ball caps. My parents had a ’59 Chris Craft 23′ cruiser, at the time. It had a toerail along the edge of the deck. While riding on a friend’s Owens cruiser, dad was handling lines during docking. He walked straight off the stern – no toerail to feel on the Owens! He went under, but quickly surfaced. Lost his sunglasses, but that hat floated. Only pic I could find of him in that hat.
I cant believe you didnt try to pass it off as Normans off the Thayer, who would have known.
Well….There was three hats used in the film, and one was lost during the crash scene. Apparently this one was used in the fishing scene and Matt can prove it by the location of the small eyelets.
I just got back from GOING BOATING….yeah…have to be HOME for the weekend, great weather forecast….to preside at a Historical Society meeting….that is real POOP!
