    Nice chapeau, my friend: I'm fond of a good wide brimmed lid myself.

    Bryan...no really, tell us about the background...

    Kilted KT, we stayed away from the monkey house, did not want to start anything untoward... And I don't mind the comparison to Braveheart and Indiana Jones, but I resemble the comparison to Dilbert! Just because I have a cell phone on my kilt belt and work in IT is no reason....

    For the other questions about the background, it is a very special place. We were there on the last day of our trip. The girls were having a great time paying and we had nothing left to do except get on the plane. It had been a beautiful day, and a lucky one for us, as the car rental company messed up and only charged us a single day for a week's rental! So there we were waiting for our plane, I had tha hat handy as I did not want to have it rushed in our luggage and what should we find? A playground in the terminal for United airlines at Tampa airport! The picture is me in front of the mural at the kid's play area at the airport! I have to agree it looks really nice, especialy with the kilt and hat, but is not very impressive when you know what it really is!

    As for the hat, I will keep it in my wardrobe. I actually enjoyed wearing it (being someone who has never embraced hats), and it is so light that it eliminates my maing gripe with hats, that they are too hot.

    I work in IT as well...have two cell phones and work in a cube farm...as I am sure many of us do! Consider it more of a acknowledgement of one who represents a great many of us...

    Rob,

    I do like the hat.

    An ad for TheFedoraStore.com popped up in the thread. I like their stuff.

    I agree hats can be hot, but once you lose the hair on top, hats are a neccessity. It is preferable to have a hot head than a sunburned one. Although if you get the right hat, it can be a lot of fun to wear. I've got one very similar to yours, except I got mine at Disney in December, and it's got a picture of Mickey embroidered on the front.:rolleyes:
