HOWARD HUGHES MEETS BONNIE & CLYDE?

If I were a fashion person, when I clasped my bejewelled hands and made a pronouncement about this chicly enormous, perfect-trenchcoat-khaki hatfrom Lauren Moffatt, I might say something like the above (probably something better, since I’d be a fashion person). The reason I say Howard Hughes is in reference to extreme health paranoia, which I have in relation to the sun (and feel is utterly justified). You can and should bathe in sunscreen, but a real hat is the additional step needed when near a pool/beach/garden etc. This one, besides its unstoppable elan, should be purchased because 100% of the net proceeds go to The Skin Cancer Foundation.
