Hats

I recently acquired a new hat.  Now I'm not usually one to accessorize, but I consider hats to be a necessity.  First, because winters in Boston are cold.  And secondly, because my optometrist tells me my eyes are overly sensitive to light, so I like to wear a hat with a large brim.  Now, of course I have a winter hat, but like most such hats, it has no brim.  And I have a wide brim hat that I wear on hikes in the summer, but it is designed with the exact opposite of warmth in mind.

So I recently acquired a new hat, with warmth in mind.  This one: the Tilley TTW2 Tec-Wool hat. It's decently warm, has a brim, and even has earwarmers.  Now, the earwarmers aren't quite as warm as I'd like, but they, and the hat, are wind proof, so they keep my ears from getting too cold.  And the hat looks pretty nice too.

The earwarmers, which look a bit silly, but definitely help.

  1. Hah. Writers cannot resist the pull of the retro hat.

    1. I know. Kristin is opposed to me wearing it to cons, lest I fall into that trope. I rarely wear hats indoors anyway, so I don't think it likely I will. But I'll definitely be wearing it outdoors at any winter or fall cons.
