That's the hat in question. I lost it tonight on my way home from Drinking Liberally at Tangier. It fell out of my back pocket somewhere on Pine St between 17th and 13th Sts at a little after 8.30p. Why was it in my back pocket? I was getting hot with that fine fine wool hat on my head. No I wasn't stumbling in a drunken stupor, I only had two drinks over two hours. It just fell out of my back pocket.
I went back to look for it after I got home and noticed it was no longer in my back pocket, but it was gone within the ten minutes it took me to backtrack.
I've had that hat for about five years. It's my favorite hat. It was the last thing I bought at my beloved Canal Jeans Co. in NYC [before I moved to Philly] before they closed down. Now that space is occupied by a soulless Bloomingdales and 555 Soul no longer stocks this model.
If anyone out there found it, please let me know. I love that hat. If a friend of yours starts bragging about this awesomely cool hat that they found on the street tonight, it's mine! Please, please, please get in contact with me.
I also put up a posting on Philly Craigslist.
Woe is me.
did it come home yet?
