I should add: My husband has an Irish tweed hat that he likes to wear in the winter. Fedora style.
We have a very nice furnace contractor — an Austrian man — who came by to discuss our need for 2 new furnaces and an air conditioner a few years ago. He’d sold us these appliances and had already installed them and was discussing the outcome of the contract when we were writing him his final check. He came in on a Sat. morning and sat down at our breakfast table and talked with us for more than an hour.
After Hans left, we realized that he’d sat on my husband’s Irish hat the whole time, squashing it flat. But, we popped it open with a fist and straightened it out, and my husband still wears it. It’s a little crooked, but only we notice that. We got a good laugh out of it.
