a hat for all seaons
I’ve worn packer hats for decades. I like the less structured look, like they’ve been lived in forever. After 30 years, I made the excuse my battered LL Bean packer was not repairable and that I should immediately purchase a Filson packer I’ve always wanted. The Filson has denser fabric and a stiffer brim. It’s infinitely more stylish and I imagine myself owning property, driving a shooting brake and wearing breeks with Wellies. Well, back on the planet Earth I wear Wellies; in fact I have 6 pairs for various excuses but I do live in a rain forest. The Filson packer hat is de rigueur for an outdoor lifestyle. I think it’s going to outlive me.
