This hat is finally dying after 14 years of use
by Anonymous from Texason Jun 23, 2011
This hat is the best investment I've made in outdoor apparel. I purchased it 14 years ago at a feed store in Cypress, Texas where we delivered hay weekly. It has been through years of drought, been caught in the rain, worn to the beach, worked cows in, used in the garden, baled hay in, been sat on, and has been crushed in the back floorboard of the truck by teenage feet. It is finally about to lose the top of the crown with big rips on the front and the sides, but the body of the hat is still in outstanding condition. Upon purchase I immediately flattened the brim and the crown, which caused a lot of snickering among my hay haulers, but when the hot temperatures began baking the hayfields, they always asked the same question each year, "Where'd you get that hat?" It keeps the body cool by keeping the head, neck and shoulders in complete shade, allowing me to work in direct sun for longer periods. As a woman with waist-length hair, I tuck my hair up into the crown, but the ventilation eyelets still provide circulation. Once this drought lets up and the hay begins growing again, I'll be placing my order for a new one.
