I could never pull off an Open Road.

I do like hats. I had a "newsboy" cap made by an artisan in Oregon. Could it be the same artisan, "Hats With a Past?" She does great work. I also have an Akubra Lawson Australian style fur hat. Both of those don't do too well here in Texas close to Houston except during the winter as it's too hot most times. I had to get a Tilley hat with a large brim for my fishing trips. It will float if it gets blown off into the water.
