I realized I need a hat for Cancun –– I think my little ski cap/beanies aren’t going to work in Mexico –– but fortunately we live near a FANTASTIC Hat Store called Goorin Brothers (established 1895 and now run by super-nice hipsters).
I do love the fedora I bought –– and I love their description of the style: The crease of the crown, the pinch at the front, and the snap of the brim makes the fedora the most expressive and personal hat shape ever created –– although I don’t see it on their website.
I was torn between two, one of which was, according to the sales guy, “crushable” in my suitcase, but the much better looking one for me was not. He did somehow manage to come up (for free) with a plastic hat form that I can put it on top of if I chose to pack it, thereby not damaging its crown.
And after that, I also got a vintage 50s white dinner jacket which I thought seemed equally necessary for resort wear in Mexico.
None of these purchases are exactly crushable –– which reminds me that I am going to do several pre-packings this weekend since I come back to San Francisco for 1.5 days and then head to NYC –– but nonetheless, I’m stoked.
We’re hitting the road in style.
