Joe Fedora poly straw, deeply discounted

[carldelo]

I have been harping on how great a hot/wet weather hat this is, and it's on sale for 2 days until Wed. Aug 5th at midnight - marked down from $69 to $38.40! I just ordered one for a friend who had us up for the weekend and was wearing a truly disreputable ball cap - he will look great on his tractor in a Joe:

If you've been considering a poly straw, this is the best of my 3 poly hats for hiking, kayaking, yard work, etc. Not as refined as an Akubra Capricorn, but a lot cooler and with a coolmax sweatband it can be washed in a big tub of soapy water or dipped in the river during a hot day canoeing. I highly recommend it.

Other stuff is on sale as well, including a couple of new Tilley raffia hats that look pretty nice. No commercial tie-in for me, just a satisfied customer of Noggintops.

Hey, I've been thinking about one of those, due to the very rainy summer we've been having (I'm wearing felt at least once a week - unheard of for me in the summer).

Anyone know if the chin strap is removable?

A Sunbody will handle the rain just fine, too, NB13.

Yep, but just once with scissors

Seriously, though, I've left my chin strap on for use boating, but continually consider cutting it off and re-wrapping around the crown trolley-style, but haven't done it yet.

I almost never use the strap - the cam buckle on the nylon hatband can be tightened on windy days to keep the hat in place. Also, mine is a little small on me (I really need an xxl), so it is pretty firmly 'on'. Note that the material is somewhat stretchy overall.

Its soo good that I waited with ordering one, so I can get it a lot cheaper now

Hope you like it as much as I do. BTW, I just washed mine last night - put it in a basin of warm water with dish soap and scrubbed it with a vegetable brush. A quick rinse and it dried in an hour or so, now it looks brand new....

Now Carldelo...when and if I get one of these poly lids...which kind of vegetable brush should I use? lol

Let's say potato, although I emphasize that this implies nothing about your head or mine [bad]

So C-J, as I remember you kayak on occasion, the clock is ticking for a low, low price on high-style, water wear.....

 

[Colby Jack]

We're definitely talking about my potato head...I'm just worried that the XL will be a tight fit...many are very tight...though it would probably fit well till the hair comes back...AND...I'll have to wait till Friday anyway....[huh] So we'll see if the sale is still on or maybe they'll drop the price of the Riverz hats...

How's the Large and Medium in these? Anybody know? I wear a 7 and 1/4 ideally and a 7 3/8 in a pinch.

Looks like I missed it this time around...Maybe next time...
