I've lived for four years in Cairo and I have to say: Summers in Egypt are terribly hot. It depends on where you are going. Are you staying in Cairo? I started wearing hats after I moved back to Europe so I don't have any experience! But I'd definitely get a "white" hat. Anything dark would be...

Thank you for the quick replies :) I'll definitely take a closer look at those shops. Has anyone experience with www.hutstuebele.com?

Hi :) Yesterday somebody accidentally hit me with his umbrella. My Borsalino got a small scratch on the front of the crown. It's about 0.5 cm long and only on the surface. I don't know if you notice it when I'm wearing the hat, but I know it's there and that makes me frustrated since I...
