Like a bamboo fan, you can close it up into a compact form when you're not wearing it
The author in her hat that’s also a fan. Photo: Courtesy of Alice Gregory A few summers ago while walking down Prince Street and studiously avoiding McNally Jackson, lest, God forbidden, I made eye contact with an acquaintance who also likes to read, I stumbled upon the most perfectly engineered product ever made. It was in the window of a Tibetan store that I had walked by hundreds of times over the past decade but never noticed.
Inside the store were dozens of fan hats, and the salesclerk demonstrated how they work. You open the fan further and further until the bamboo slats begin to strain, and then right before you think the contraption is about to break in half, you — very quickly — hook both sides to one another, closing the circle. The miraculous hat that emerges has a wicker-like top and structured cloth brim. There’s also a trusty adjustable chin lanyard.
They’re apparently popular in China, but I’ve never seen anyone wearing one in America. Unacceptable. They should be as ubiquitous as Havaianas flip-flops or, I don’t know, Advil.
