I know a man who actually wears a Tilley hat now and then, specially when he is out "birding", and my GOD it looks stupid! The poor fellow probably imagines that he is right in style, so I have not troubled him about it. Why burst his bubble? I do try, though, to avoid being seen in his company in public places when he is wearing it. I make excuses. I say I got an important call and must rush off. You know how it is.
