Thinking of becoming a Hat guy

[Engorgeous George 2,331]

As a kid I would watch olympic skiing because my family skied.  Jean Claude Killy ruled the roost but Amerrica had Billy Kidd. Billy sported cowboy hats and every American kid who was a skier wanted one.  My family came out to Steamboat for a ski vacation after seeing the '72 olympics. Steamboat was Billy's home base.  My dad bought stetsons for both my brothers and for my kid sister.  I never got one.  Likely I had commited some mischief and was being punished, I don't really remember.  They all still have those hats now half a century later.  I guess quality costs money.  Still, I'll go cheaper because I am cheap ,and frankly I don't need a hat to last half a century since I don't have half a century left in me.  I need maybe a decade hat or hats.

Stetson had two manufacturing facilities, one in Texas and one here in my hometown.  They've closed the factory production here but left the retail space.  A lot of big time folks have made stops through town to pick one up.

I kind of like newsboy style and would probably wear one of those, but it's just as easy to throw on a ballcap and they don't cost as much.

 

They have a cool golf hat...but they named "double bogey."
