Bold Headgear!

I've wanted another Tilley hat for a few years now.  My Hemp one is excellent and still in good shape, but it's for the sunshine and I thought that I needed one for the wet and the cold.  

Well, there was a sale item called a Paddler's Hat (TWS1) going for about £30 less than normal – probably because not many people have a 7 ¾ size head – and I ordered it online, thinking that it couldn't be as red as it looked on the Tilley website . . .

. . . it was; but I'm prepared to wear it nonetheless.
