Not big on nature hat
As much as I hate to admit it, my wardrobe isn’t static. Garments leave and arrive, mostly because of my changing body; I give items up when I don’t fit into them and I add items to replace the lost pieces. I try not to buy anything new just for the sake of experimentation or random consumption. Every purchase has to be carefully considered because it is my aim to have it stay with me as long as possible. And lately there hasn’t been anything radically new. Perhaps that’s why my money has gone into collecting vinyl rather than buying clothes; nothing has excited me. But that’s not actually true.
Last year, I had a little purchase that was something totally
new
to me. It’s not all that surprising, considering that it was something that you can find throughout the fall pages of Apparel Arts. It was even described as a bit of a trend back in the 30s. As I am someone who takes direct inspiration from 30s illustrations, it’s actually more surprising that this quirky thing hasn’t found its way into my wardrobe sooner.
So scroll on dear reader and learn all about my journey with the Tyrolean Hat, a piece of European folk dress that became a niche piece of vint

Chefs wear a number of different hats, often acting not only as a cook, but also juggling the responsibilities of an accountant, a kitchen manager, and more.
In addition to the multiple figurative hats they wear, chefs are also typically required to wear a physical hat for sanitation purposes. But did you know that the type of hat a chef wears can tell you a lot about their role? Throughout history, chef hats have indicated factors such as title, rank in the kitchen, and even their level of expertise.
Learn how the traditional chef’s hat, professionally known as a toque, has evolved over time, and how it’s used today.

Tilley Hat - To buy or not to buy?
arnanthescout1
So my old hat, one that I’d gotten many years ago, is getting worn out - several rips in the crown and the fabric on one side of the rim is getting lacerated. It had served me since I began scouting in middle school… time was finally getting the better of it. I tried and failed to find the same brand hat online. It was around this time that I realized that the hat I’d gotten was basically a knock-off Tilley Airflo Ltm6. Well, sort-of: it was actually of pretty good quality, with a nice stiff brim, and lasted surprisingly long, but of course wasn’t the real thing. That’s how I learned about the Tilley hat.
I’ve tried looking for a similar hat, but the hat I ordered just wasn’t the same… the floppy brim in particular irked me. I am very,
very
tempted to get myself a proper Tilley Ltm6 but at the same time hesitant to spend the money. I’ve also heard that since the company has been sold in 2015 some of the hats have been made in China rather than in Canada as they used to. I know that if I get a Tilley it’ll probably last me a long time, maybe twenty years or more, and that they have a lifetime guarantee. So… what thought
