Harvest gold is not a timid color. Fortunately, neither is a good hat.

We make this one from British Millerain waxed cotton, a fabric with a long and respectable history of being rather more useful than the weather forecast. Its oil finish lends water resistance, while the soft brim can be folded, packed, and generally subjected to the indignities of an ordinary day.

The crown is relaxed; the nylon strap and buckle are entirely practical. It is a handsome little arrangement that requires no special ceremony.

Put it on before leaving the house. Whatever happens next is largely beyond our jurisdiction.
