RYP: I registered just to add my .02 on this VERY important issue (long time reader, first time poster...).
I have the original, and it has been with me to Europe, the Middle East and other less fashionable locales. On numerous occasions, that hat won me the respect of honorable men and the attention of beautiful women. I could not have accomplished either task without its able assistance.
But the "new" hat? It's like a leisure suit. No offense, sir, but....
Please bring back the old one.
