Photographs Of Hats Fresh From Surviving The Elements

I used to try and use umbrellas when I worked in Portland. Most of the time the wind was blowing so hard the umbrella would get blown inside out anyway... So, a good hat and top coat are really the way to go.

Just to add an update on the two soaking I got above in the Penneys Marathon, and then the Akubra Cobber Pedy: the hats dried out just fine, no worse for wear, and after a little brushing they went back into their respective hat boxes.
Win!!

Last night brought tornado warnings, severe thunderstorms with wind, hail & lightening. The hail was beating the green leaves off the trees, clogging up an outside drain. I had to make several trips outside during the storm to sweep the drain open & keep the water draining. I needed a big brim so I grabbed an Akubra Woomera. It served me well as an umbrella. More storms are predicted for this afternoon.
