Robb Report is the unofficial magazine of the luxury\u00a0lifestyle. Maybe it\u2019s even official by now. For those sitting on larger\u00a0assets than I will ever have, Robb Report shows them their just rewards for\u00a0having Made It, big-time. Once a year, they offer their considered selection\u00a0of\u2026well, stuff to die for. The Best of the Best, as they say. Homes,\u00a0private jets, yachts, resorts, exotic autos, and on and on, more goodies than\u00a0you could hope for in a lifetime of spectacular Christmases as Bill\u00a0Gates\u2019 son. They should have a box to check \u201cYes! Send it all to\u00a0me! Send the bill to someone else.\u201d I am flattered beyond measure for my\u00a0hats to be in such fast company.<\/em><\/p>\n

William Kissel, the Fashion Editor, is a wonderful man and a\u00a0delight to work with. I sent him an unblocked hat woven by Sim\u00f3n\u00a0Espinal, his best, as close to flawless as I\u2019ve ever seen. So finely\u00a0woven it is beyond linen, it is more like silk. I knew it was useless to try to\u00a0describe it. The only way to \u201cget it\u201d with these super hats is to\u00a0actually see and hold one. It is not possible to imagine one without\u00a0experiencing one. Fine straw cloth, weighing less than a deep breath. Quite\u00a0literally, there is nothing else like them. (Yes, of course, before I sent it\u00a0to him I made him promise to send it back. He returned it in perfect\u00a0condition.) By recognizing and calling attention to the miracles that are the\u00a0Master Weaver hats, Mr. Kissel has significantly improved the odds that the art\u00a0can survive at the highest levels. Thank you, William. You are making a\u00a0difference.<\/em><\/p>\n
