Bill Dance Hat

[jguy2]

I'm hoping someone can help me out. I've been looking for a hat like Bill Dance wears for a few years now for my dad. He's always wanted one but could never find them. I've found similar hats, with the only difference being the mesh on the back is stretchy. He doesn't want that though, he just wants the old style mesh back. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Strip mall at the corner of Cedar Bluff and Kingston Pike. Good selection fo stuff. Not sure if they have it or not, but if anyone does it would be there.

If that doesn't work, I'd check outdoor stores. I'm sure there is a locally owned one in the area that carries them.

This brings me hope! If I find them I'm going to stockpile them, haha.

The reason you can't find one is because OWH has the market cornered!

you really don't see them very often.

I got mine from the UT bookstore if I remember correctly. That was three years ago and I ordered online.

A gift from a friend many years ago. I had almost forgotten about it.

FYI - Hound Dogs didn't have them when I was in there last night.

:ermm: I just got back in town today. I guess I won't bother checking there then. Thanks for the update.

They have a hat in the bookstore called a "Bill Dance" hat, but it's definitely not the style he wears. It's not mesh on the front if I'm not mistaken.

After some digging around, I have discovered that Bill Dance does, in fact, have the market cornered on that hat. He's the only one that has any of that style. If I get any farther I'll let you guys know.

The T is wrong

It's the T Dance uses.

Mine has the power T

The hat doesn't protect good from getting sun burned on your head. If any of you have had that at some point it's no fun. I don't know how Dance does it. His head must be like a piece of leather.

stc sports in Gatlinburg has them. Full mesh. Its in the Reagan terrace mall on the strip.
