[AT] HATS was Re: OT - How a steam locomotive gets built in 1935

[charlie hill]

yeah Al,  I saw one variety of them online that comes folded up in a bag and 
snaps right out into a crisp, sharp hat when removed.

Charlie,

The Barmah hats are pretty nice.  The only thing I have found for more sun 
protection is a big ol wide-brim straw hat.  The Barmah is lightweight and 
seems to hold its shape no matter what--whether in the washing machine, or 
wadded up into a ball on a truck seat.
