It has great style and panache' (dash, verve). However, the Pacific NW, where it rains a whole lot, (75 inches, 190 cm, per year, with most of that concentrated between mid-Sept and mid-May where I live), has it's own hat. It is the Outdoor Research Seattle Sombrero, made of Gortex which does a great job of keeping the wet off of bald heads like mine. You can see the black hat in the pictures on Pg. 1, P1050040 is best, the bearded coot sitting next to two lovely ladies, one my wife, Joelle; and on Pg. 2, P1060026 <BR>
where, if you look carefully, you'll see that the back extends well over the shoulder so the rain <BR>
doesn't go down the back of my neck. At least not very easily. I am entranced by the computer <BR>
screen, looking at the disaster of my portfolio, I think. Oh, well. btw, three years ago or so we had <BR>
92 consecutive days of measureable rain and the rest of the time we had clouds. Never saw the sun<BR>
for three months. So, the Seattle Sombrero is handy if you want to keep a dry head and still go for a walk (in Goretex pants and jacket, too, with Maine half boots for dry feet).<BR>
