I just this minute went to retrieve it, and I'm very sad to report it
didn't
survive ... the entire hat, from the brim up is just shreds of threads.

My sympathies on the hat, but my sadness at present is focused on my Olympus
Stylus 300 that SWMBO just dropped on the lens. It's probably not supposed
to have that 10 degree bend in the middle. :-((((((
