And a new trend for 2009? Recycling! With the sluggish economy, Derby-goers are cutting costs, including their hats, either by refurbishing old hats, borrowing one from a friend or bargain shopping.

LOUISVILLE, KY. — Hang on to your hats? The finest-dressed women at the 135th Kentucky Derby today wouldn't dream of it.

In a sure sign the public is brimming with economic confidence - or that people have totally lost their heads - designers of Kentucky's most dazzling hats report that sales of their "artwork" are right on schedule, despite early fears that women were resorting to recycling hats from previous Derbys.
