It actually comes in two colors, one is the more brown color and blue color as seen here, but there is also a more green and blue hues. By the way great image and I like how the cast member fits the part.Matterhorn1959https://www.blogger.com/profile/07140583153080149244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-84090604159292063942010-05-19T06:27:19.381-07:002010-05-19T06:27:19.381-07:00"pith helmet" makes me giggle...

Then every time I went out in the yard and donned that hat I'd remember Disneyland. When it was worn out I'd think, "I need to go to Tropical Imports and get a new hat." In that sense... it'd be one expensive hat! :)Chiana_Chathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18329208224763179478noreply@blogger.com
