What is it about Tilley hats.  Bought one in Bermuda, lost it sailing a 
day later.  Bought another here in the states.  You're right, BD ,they 
do make you look like a dork, or maybe it just looks better on someone 
else than you think it does on you.

Can't kill 'em though.  Still wear it to the beach whenever I can.
