Kaytee | Sunday, August 04, 2002 - 11:08 pm     Hey, sorry Mod for starting a whole thread on this but no one went into the Short Q and A thread tonite What is that word on the floppy hat Jason is wearing now? is this the same hat Eric wears? I want one and figure that'll help me figure out what kind of hat it is thanks |
Spygirl | Monday, August 05, 2002 - 06:33 am     I'm not sure how to figure it out because they have to cover all name brand labels. If the label is still showing, it would be a miracle, but I'll try to remember to look over the next few days. |
Kaytee | Monday, August 05, 2002 - 08:38 am     thanks spygirl, it's not a label it is a word written in brown across the crown? of the hat like Nike would be written across a baseball hat When they zoomed in on Jason I could see it clearly but for me it was like reading the last line on an eyechart, I couldn't thanks |
Shoofly | Monday, August 05, 2002 - 08:50 am     'Tilley' makes a hat that looks similar. Not surprisingly, they have a website with all the info. |
Zachsmom | Monday, August 05, 2002 - 08:53 am     here's a screen cap of it..can't make it out

Crossfire | Monday, August 05, 2002 - 09:04 am     daskowitz paskowitz ?askowitz something like that. I think the Tilleys are the big name in the style though. |
Kaytee | Monday, August 05, 2002 - 10:07 am     thanks all ! I was thinking basnowitz never heard of Tilleys, will look it up though |
Calgal | Monday, August 05, 2002 - 11:00 am     maybe it's the "sorting hat" from Harry Potter books... it tells the houseguest/wearer whom to vote off! |

Oregonfire | Monday, August 05, 2002 - 11:34 am     Yes, the floppy hat makes a return! He looks like Paddington Bear in that thing. |
Zachsmom | Monday, August 05, 2002 - 11:37 am     LOL Oregon..or what were those Xavier Roberts bears that came out many moons ago? I remember I had one..Farley I think it's name was.. |
Dlurkrgrl | Monday, August 05, 2002 - 11:41 am     Zachsmom - Those bears are Furskins... Just give him a pair of overalls and some hiking boots and it will be a true likeness. |
Mckryan | Monday, August 05, 2002 - 11:44 am     If you go to www.paskowitz.com, it's for a surf camp. They sell stuff, but the K is backwards and the T is upside down. So, I don't know if this hat comes from there or not. |
Zachsmom | Monday, August 05, 2002 - 11:45 am     LOL Dlurkrgrl..I loved those Furskins!!

Kaytee | Monday, August 05, 2002 - 01:36 pm     omg, my son had that exact bear (furskin) as a kid, still have his big ol' shoes in the old toybox, LOL I went to that website for the surf camp, not sure, their hats are different with the inverted letters, I sent them an email with the pic (great clear shot!) You know how you just can't let go of something?? I really want that hat even more now, lolol Thanks to all for the help! |
Ryn | Monday, August 05, 2002 - 01:58 pm     I bet its an old cap associated with that surf camp, I mean HOW many commercial things have the name Paskowitz?? Here is a hat from their current catalog....

Nurdreams | Monday, August 05, 2002 - 02:01 pm     If you do a search for "Bucket Hats" you will find a lot of them that look like that one. My son has one almost just like that one! (different color and his high school band logo on the front) |
Lurknomore | Monday, August 05, 2002 - 02:06 pm     Um....you guys actually like the way this looks???? Only one word comes to my mind when I see anyone in it...GOOFY! Different strokes and all that |
Zachsmom | Monday, August 05, 2002 - 02:07 pm     Lurk..On Jason..absolutely .. |
Jan | Monday, August 05, 2002 - 02:09 pm     I think Tilley is a big name in Canada. Didn't it start out here?? not sure but now it is international. Here is their website with the hat shown http://www.tilley.com/shop2.asp?path=root%5CTilley_Hats |

Beagle | Monday, August 05, 2002 - 02:14 pm     Gilligan? Hummm, food for thought. |
Bernie | Monday, August 05, 2002 - 03:38 pm     Paddington Bear's Hat and coat are actually raingear, and his hat was known as a 'sou'wester' and they were most likely plastic, or vinyl, or rubberised. Even nowadays you can still get that yellow raingear here in Canada, but after a few years, the rubber coating begins to break down and fall off in little bits, so you're a sort of walking cloud of yellow dandruff, in the rain. But the stuff is great for wet summer gardening!  |
