The Ultimate Hat, made in Tampa and based on the Tilly design, but more tropical, seemed excellent. >> Yes, but the Tilly, though MUCH costlier, is stiff enough to hold its shape in a blow, can be shaped and reshaped to fit conditions, is organic, and made with "traditional Canadian Persnicketiness (sp)?" The only hat I've ever loved. My first one disappeared when the chin strap, weakened from years of abrasion from my throat stubble, broke in a dumping 6-foot surf. It floated away as I was busy rescuing several students who had been scattered in the water by the previous wave set. By the time I was able to return to search for it, I could not find it. I have always imagined that it found a better life, shading the head of a lovely mama somewhere on a remote tropical island. Harold So.
