It was a reluctant purchase and not very expensive but I probably carried the hat around as much as I wore it. It doesn&#8217;t block the sun all that well as the brim is not very big and you have to constantly shape it or it turns into a mess. You can&#8217;t pack it in a back because it&#8217;s made of paper and it will crunch and become unwearable. After carrying it all over Greece, Egypt, and Turkey i&#8217;ve decided I need to put the hat down. I placed it on a railing inside the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul took a photo and walked away. The hat was claimed by some lucky traveler, because it was gone by the time we got back. I&#8217;ve replaced the hat with a cap that&#8217;s much more travel friendly and can be stuffed into a suitcase and holds it&#8217;s shape even when abused.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 360px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border: 0px;\" title=\"athensHat.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sethandberkley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/athensHat.jpg\" alt=\"athensHat\" width=\"350\" height=\"466\" border=\"0\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">R.I.P<br \/>July 23, 2012 &#8211; August 11th, 2012<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 360px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border: 0px;\" title=\"istanbulHat.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sethandberkley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/istanbulHat.jpg\" alt=\"istanbulHat\" width=\"350\" height=\"466\" border=\"0\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">My new hat, hopefully it will serve me well in Africa and beyond.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You may have noticed this cream colored fedora arrive in our photos a few weeks ago when we first arrived in Greece.
