That's why I'm determined to find Tommy Hitchcock's exact hat. It doesn't look like an ordinary hat, it looks Spanish, he went somewhere, say South America, to play...it also looks lovingly customized by wear and tear and a judicious just-so rolling of the outer brim. Maybe my brain will be 35 again by the time I finish this search. I want you to have the exact hat you love, no substitutes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8818519199109196200.post-43108030059195078672011-05-01T17:29:06.930-04:002011-05-01T17:29:06.930-04:00I like it.
