Leather Cowboy Hat

A leather hat built for full sun, not for show.

Why is it useful?

A wide enough brim to actually matter, stiff enough to survive being thrown in the truck bed.

How does it fit the ORVIK world?

On the hook by the door, on the head before noon.

How to use it

Wear it for anything under direct sun — cooking over coals, working outside, a long afternoon at the farm. Shape the brim by hand if it softens with humidity; leather holds whatever curve you give it. Keep it away from direct heat when drying, and a light leather conditioner once or twice a year keeps it from cracking.
