They have been making that hipster SK hat for about 120 years, so someone must like them. The bow tie can be snugged or loosened so the ear flaps can come down better over one's ears since not all head and ear shapes are the same. I like these ear flaps better than the type that folds up into the hat (eg, a Filson ball cap) because with SK one has the same size hat whether using the flaps or not. Btw Prof, I have hunted grouse in the Northwoods alot and never had the bow catch on anything. A ball cap button, however, seems to catch on most any overhanging branch. Stormy Kromer hats have no button.

Socialism is almost the worst.
