I saved my favorite, a straw boaster with a black grosgrain band and a bow in the back - ala Madeline-and my daughter wore it for Easter as did my grandaughter. It's still in perfect shape. We all love hats. We got up early to watch the Wills and Kate wedding and the highlight were the fabulous fascinators that the guests wore.

My oldest daughter is the only one who even saw anyone wearing hats, in the Madonna/Desperately Seeking Susan era, but the only hats she owns are knit ones. <br /><br />My middle daughter lives in Boulder, and everyone wears a cowboy hat there. I go to a friend's ranch in Wyoming most summers, so I've collected a couple straw cowboy hats. I left one with her one time after I'd left the ranch, but I don't think she's ever worn it. <br /><br />My youngest daughter has only worn <br />"covers" in the military sense: Civil Air Patrol (they wear the Air Force uniform), high school band, and shakos and other kinds of caps when she was a cadet at the Citadel. Now she has a cute little billed cap--coral--for running. And her shako with the enormous black rooster feathers sits next to her husband's military cover from college, atop the bookshelf. <br /><br />They'd all look great in fancy hats, too, so it's a shame. <br /><br />Hank, if you ever get to Cincinnati, you should visit Batsakes Brothers, one of the oldest hat makers in the US--105 years in business. They would make a custom hat to fit you.
