Anyways, here is a photo of the one that I wore for 1,100 miles.<\/p>\n<p>My hat is made of something called cotton duck. It is a thick cotton material that holds it shape pretty well.<\/p>\n<p>Anyways, the hat did what a good hat is supposed to do &#8211; keep my head cool on hot days, warm on cold days, and block the sun everyday. It is comfortable &#8211; the most comfortable hat I&#8217;ve ever worn.<\/p>\n<p>So, the Tilley Hat. Yes, it is sort of famous in outdoor fashion circles. It isn&#8217;t over priced. It is a really good hat. Here I am wearing it at the end fo the walk.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_538\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/dwaynephillips.net\/takingawalk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/theendstopsign1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-538\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-538\" title=\"theendstopsign1\" src=\"http:\/\/dwaynephillips.net\/takingawalk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/theendstopsign1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Me wearing my Tilley Hat at the end\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dwaynephillips.net\/takingawalk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/theendstopsign1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dwaynephillips.net\/takingawalk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/theendstopsign1.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-538\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Me wearing my Tilley Hat at the end<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Dwayne Phillips There are a lot of name-brand pieces of apparel out there that people recommend for walking and other activities.
