I figured this would be the place to put this.
Saturday at work, a gentleman in his 80's walked in wearing an old coat and an old fedora. It was a tan color with a leather band instead of a ribbon and had a hole at the top of the pinch. It had a probably 2.5 inch brim with a little dust on it, like he just tried brushing it off with his hand. I commented about his hat telling him it looked like it had seen better days. He smiled at me and taking the hat off (by grasping the pinch of course) looked at it and stated: "Yes sir, we've seen some days together." Still wearing that smile, he nodded at me and put his hat on before walking out the door. After he was gone, I went back to my locker and pulled out my Akubra Sydney and wondered if it would ever have as much class as his hat did.
