I saw this hand-made peasant hat from Romania online a month or so again, and I thought “this is my hat, this is the hat I want to wear all summer and Fall.” So I ordered it and forget about it.
Things from Romania take awhile to get her and it showed up in our mailbox today in a very non-American style box swathed in tape. When I finally got the box open and put the hat on, I fell in love with it.
This, I think, is the hat I have been searching for for a long time. When you are bald hats matter.
It is comfortable and rumpled, something an aging seeking wisdom would be happy to wear. I love it. Maria says I look like Paddington Bear. I’m not sure that is a compliment, but she says she loves the hat. I think there are Romanian peasants somewhere in my family history. It feels at home on my head.
I salute you from the depths of my Romanian heritage

Jon,
I LOVE your hat! However, don’t let Sylvie see it because she might snatch it from you!!!

Hmmm…Paddington Bear meets Smurf…:) 🙂 🙂 Love it!
this hat is *you*, Jon! Soft around the edges…… almost worn and rumpled looking, and very comfortable………yet stylish and pert. It suits you well, I think!

That is such a lovely smile, it’s contagious.
