Two men sat on a bench at the zoo. One looked at the other and perhaps wondered if the simple hat would have been a better choice. Is it better to travel light with a hat that can be crushed into a pocket, or with a hat that must be worn at all times to look stylish?

The traditional style of hat as once worn by travelers during the 1600's. Here, a modern man wore it while traveling on a float during a parade.

Bryan wore his Tilley hat while shooting a spider web in the Costa Rican jungle. The wide brim protected from sun as well as from the risk of jungle things falling down his neck.

In preparation to march in the parade, this fellow modeled the kind of hat worn in the Mad Max films. A well worn travel hat with the crown worn away with age and use.
