I won't be getting rid of it, I was a safari tour guide in outback Western Australia for 8 years and prior to that worked on a crocodile farm in northern Western Australia and that hat was with me the whole time. It's been through bushfires, floods, droughts and everything in between, it's been a fantastic hat. Unfortunately it's just reached its limit, the felt has deteriorated to the extent that I can't stitch up the holes without the felt tearing. I won't be throwing it out though, it'll be retired and will have pride of place in the house, It brings back a lot of memories. I'm sure the new one will develop it's own character pretty quickly!
