Hats and Kilts

[Paco500]

While I'm pretty sure it's some kind of sin, I wear one of several wide-brimmed hats when outside on sunny days. Having already lost half my left ear to melanoma, fashion always takes a back seat to safety.

However, I kind of like the way it looks sometimes. Here is the only recent picture I have of my self kilted/hatted.



Me, stepfather and kids at Smokey Mnts. National Park. As I was just outside of Pigeon Forge, TN (home of Dollywood) I thought the Cowboy hat was appropriate.

Just realized my avatar has me wearing my favorite sun-repellant headwear, my Tilly Endurables T3, from http://www.tilley.com/.

Best rain, sun, hiking, kayaking, beach walking hat ever.

Mine is a Tilley Hemp TH4 in summer, and the equivalent wool hat in winter (great for an NY winter, ear flaps and all). Superb hats! I think they look good with kilts.

Funny thing... I have seen, maybe, half a dozen cowboy hats outside of concerts since I moved to East Tennesee (50 miles from Dollywood) 19 years ago. I saw many more growing up in Houston.
