Went in the bank yesterday to make a deposit. Guy at the next teller looks over "That's a nice hat!" "Thank you." I'm wearing my Appleseed boonie hat as I do any time I leave the house. Makes my dermatologist, who also told me it's a nice hat last time I was in, happy. "What is it? That's really a nice hat!" I move closer, about 5-6 feet from him, point to the patch and tell a couple sentences about what it is. He tells me one more time what a nice hat I have. I've had 2-3 others, besides him and my doc, compliment it, but usually only once and not effusively. So get yourself the boonie hat and people will like your hat.
Yep, they are good hats. My son Nathaniel (Alt F4 Phantom) wears one when we're out hiking as well. The pic is of him on a backpacking trip in Idaho's Sawtooth Mountains.
