Kots en diarree

Nee, niet ik, Mika en z'n moeder.. gedoe met de darmen, geen gespuug, dat nog net niet.. zelf wacht ik op mijn beurt.. ik hoop dat ik nog 2 dagen respijt krijg, dan is het weekend, kan ik lekker ziek zijn in mijn vrije tijd. Bijzonder eigenlijk.. liever ziek in mijn eigen tijd dan in mijn baas z'n tijd.. moet ik me weer ziek melden en zo.. ruk is dat, moet ik gaan uitleggen dat ik kots of diarree heb.. mag niet gevraagd worden geloof ik.. maar je probeert toch altijd weer te antwoorden.

Tilley TWC7 Outback Waxed Cotton Hat

This is my first Tilley-hat, it cost me a fortune and I'm not too happy.. ;)
I have this hat for about 2 months now, I use it 5 days a week during hard physical work outside.. I tend to sweat a lot, sweat stains become very visible, the green color of the material turns yellowish where the sweat touches the fabric, even though I wash the hat about 2/3 times a week with dishwasher-soap and hand-warm water.. I air-dry the hat, every now and then with the drying-machine with low temperature (almost cold) but still.. rain 'drains' the hat after about 10/20 minutes or so.. It's hardly protecting me from rain, it's like having a wet towel on my head after some time..
Also.. the Tilley-label stains..

The positive.. It looks great (I get compliments), it fits fantastic (2 sizes up from tilley-sizechart), it will not leave my head even with extremely heavy winds (I'm living/working close to the shoreline in the Netherlands).. the cord with sliding fisherman's knot is simply perfect! I sometimes get blown off my bike but the hat stays on! Also.. this hat is protecting me from sun (serious allergy).
Keeps it shape just fine..

I was looking for a hat that would keep my face 'a little more dry' during the rain AND not seriously stain from daily sweat.. this hat is not it.. is there a hat (Tilley or not) meeting these demands?


This is how the Tilley TWC7 looked like..

This is how it looks now..
