Though it's a few weeks old, I thought I'd mention my new hat. a Scala Cagney in their "khaki". While it's not as well made as my black Stetson (and neither are particularly well-made hats in the greater scheme of things), it held up amazingly well when Bailey decided that, being made of fur, it must be chewed on. Other than the drool that had to be cleaned off, it held up amazingly well and is serving me well on the weekends with my brown leather jacket.

Once I get a grey hat, I'll have the full variety to go with all of my work clothes. However, I'll probably buy a straw hat for summer before I get the grey felt.
