Powell's Mesh Farmer Hat
We hunkered low in tall grass, our boots sinking into the muck. Steady and quiet. Adjusting the bill of our caps to block the early-morning autumn mist. We heard a low "quack" from the left and then, with a flurry of wings, the ducks sprang skyward, launching themselves at the clouds. We
sprang into action, leaping to our feet and hurling books over our heads. The ducks snatched them out of the sky, quacking their gratitude for the winter beach reading we'd provided. And the Powell's Farmer Hat would always remind us of that beloved annual tradition.
Trucker Hat
The burly man in the too-tight T-shirt smelled of stale
beer and acrid sweat as he cut the steering wheel of his Mack truck and
delivered us safely to the gas station. We would never forget his generosity,
his bulging arms, or the stylish design of his wrinkled, faded hat. We
designed our Powell's trucker hat in honor of the gallant knight on eighteen
wheels who rescued us so long ago.
