Jeepers, I just bought a hat at Target

I was on a mandated family trip to Target, pushing my kids around in one of those huge double decker carts, when i passed the hat section. I figured the hats would be dumb, but there was this kind of cool looking hat; stingy brim, interesting shape, inside all it says is 100% NATURAL FIBER, china. I have no idea what fiber this is, but it's ncely woven, tight, and the fiber's relatively think, like hemp rope. It's totally comfortable. I was wearing it around the store, my wife said it looked dumb, but this other guy saw me in the store and (I assume he didn't know it wasn't my hat yet) said, "you look good int hat hat!". That was nice of him, he seemed sincere, and I was leaning toward it anyway, in spite of my wife kind of groaning (the hats are starting to stack up, but I need to leave a couple at work so she doesn't notice so much), so i bought it, it's great. 12.99. I think it looks damn good. My wife said she suspects that Target is paying shills to walk arounda nd say such things to inncoent people like myslef to spur sales. Is that possible?

You may want to avoid getting it wet. "Natural Fiber" often means "recycled paper".
