Lightweight hats tend to move quickly also! Quick story about this hat, I had only had it for about a week when I went to an afternoon movie. It had been sprinkling after an earlier heavy rain and there were tiny areas of wetness on the ground. I got out of my car and headed to the theater when a gust of wind took the hat off my head. In all fairness to Art, I did not have this perfect fitting hat pulled onto my head fully. Well...here I am chasing this swift moving hat along the parking lot; it rolled along on its brim like a wheel, it flipped end-over-end - it must have looked like a three stooges skit. When it finally stopped and I caught up to it, I thought it was ruined. There were stains all over the hat - I was beside myself. Here the hat was only a week old and it was stained and dirty - my first light coloered hat...Aarrghhhhh.:arated:
...and the lighter colors are even more lightweight than the darker ones. I have a Blue Smoke & it is discernibly lighter than the Natural & Pecan ArtLites I have.
Well, next day when the hat had dried off - viola, no damage...it looked as good as new. Being a very light colored hat, where it hit the wet ground it got a small dark wet spot and looked worse than it really was. Once the hat dried it was fine, I brushed the hat and it's been great since and now I always check to make sure the hat is on securely.
