Get stuffed.

Cotton 'driving cap' from MINI USA Motoring Accessories. Unstructured, one-size fits all, elastic back, embroidered MINI logo.

I leave it in my car as an emergency cap, but I can also stuff it into my jacket pocket (or back pocket, or camera bag pocket). Not much else to say. Not much eye protection from the sun, but good scalp protection from the sunroof and cool air.

Cool air: coming soon to a sub-tropical region near me.

TR Negative.

Another Terlingua cap, specifically a Terlingua Racing Team cap.  Gold on black instead of the traditional black on gold.

I needed another cap.

Old soldiers never die. They fade into yard hats.

This is a hybrid hat. The leather band with pheasant feathers came off a 'lawn-deceased' Stetson straw I had many years ago (purchased at the flagship Neiman-Marcus store in downtown Dallas in the early 1990s). This hat came from REI. It's made of 'Toyo Straw', which isn't straw at all, but rolled paper.

I usually wear it backwards, so the torn brim is to the back. I'm cool that way.

All hat, no cattle.

A Stetson 10X 'Rancher' straw with side vents. Like me, it was made in Texas by Texans.

Happy Anniversary! Remember the Alamo!

March 2nd, 2016: The 180th Anniversary of Texas' Declaration of Independence. The 30th Anniversary of P.M. and Linden's Declaration of Interdependence.

The cotton bucket hat displays the image of the Zavala Flag from the Texas War of Independence (although the flag design was white on a blue background). A white hat is much more functional in the sub-tropics than a royal blue one would be.

It's been too long.
