I would like to ask for no Portuguese writing, and I see no place to specify. Thanks!

As he works outdoors most of the time as an archaeologist, the width of brim is a real attraction, and of course he loved the story behind it. When he tried it on for the first time, he noted the lack of chin strap and said that he would have to watch it if it got windy. The next day (you can probably see where this is going...), we had a huge wind storm (snow in May!), and he wore it outside. One pouff and the hat is in the river that rolls next to our property where upon it sank immediately. Due to the temperature of the water and the fast current, my husband bid adieu to my gift. PLEASE attach a chin strap! Purchased your hat last week in Winter Park (Orlando), FL for my husband, who loved it.

Haven't worn it much since to be fair, time or another try I think! Yes, indeed, though it was possibly in jest! Haven’t worn it much since to be fair, time or another try I think!

The web site for this company cracks me up, because a major segment of the "actual wearer photos" in their picture gallery is comprised of cute college-age girls in party mode. When my hat arrived -- yes, I couldn't resist the siren call of... well, of the cute collegiate sirens, I guess -- I dropped the company a quick line thanking them for the prompt shipping (one week) and noting that I hoped it would lead me to a lifestyle in keeping with the pictures on the site! ;-) I have yet to wear the hat in public -- but now I have an incentive to do so! I mean... charm the girls by wearing a beat-up canvas hat? You're suggesting it really works! Ah, if only I'd known this simple secret years ago!
