There is a hat from the San Francisco Hat Company that I spent almost a year lusting after.
It is the Riverz Utah. A super wide-brim hat (5 inches!) with a lifeguard-style crown. Itβs made of synthetic straw so itβs crushable and waterproof.
Last Christmas, my dreams came true. My wife gave it me as an early present, just in time for our vacation. Now I wear it everywhere. I wear it on walks. I wore it in the winter. Now that itβs hot, I wear it in the pool.
We were at the pool today treading water when a group of teenage boys went swimming by. One of them stopped short right next to me and pointed.
βYouβre the dude with the hat!β
βYeah, thatβs me.β
βI see you all over the place. That hat isβ¦likeβ¦majestic.β
And he swam off.
Goddamn right, itβs majestic.
