For Straw Fedoras, Vintage Not Entirely Worthless

I have what some might consider to be an abnormally small head. Every summer, I think maybe, just maybe, I’ll find one of those cheapie straw fedoras on the street that actually fits. No dice, for three years in a row now. I knew I’d need to bite the bullet for a hat that wasn’t one-size-fits-all. But if I was paying more than $10, I wasn’t about to spend it on a mass-produced copy of celebutard millinery. I didn’t want to blow $346 on an effing straw hat either. I have a tendency to knock Vintage where clothing’s concerned but I find it an excellent option for hats of the original, not-a-total-rip-off ilk. So the fact that I purchased my straw fedora at the notoriously overpriced beacon of Vintage bologna, aka Zachary’s Smile, only makes me a partial hypocrite. I saw it in the window, immediately fell in love with it and was gleeful to find upon trying it on that it actually fit my tiny noggin. At $45, it wasn’t cheap by my standards. But seeing as I’ve worn it every day since acquiring it a week ago, it’s proven a worthy mini-splurge. Yaay.
