That was very kind of you.I did a good thing today.....I think. At my local Costco there is a young cashier that remarks on my hat every time our paths cross.
Today he lamented not being able to find a hat even closely like it. My hat is a vintage Bloomingdales with a 2" brim that I wear snapped up all the time, it is my knockabout hat. I have a Robert Hall stingy brim at home in black that I never wear as the stingy just does not suit me and neither does the black. I drove home picked up the stingy and took it back to Costco and gifted it to him. He was, to say the least, thrilled. We did not really get a chance to chat as he was working. I felt good but then wondered if I had done him any favours by giving him a STINGY instead of a fedora. Oh well, at least he gets to start somewhere and I figure another hat wearer, especially a young one, will be good for the world. Next time our paths cross I will give him the name of this site and he can become educated in all things HAT.
