Robin Esrock, aka “The Modern Gonzo” and host of National Geographic’s Word Travels: The Truth Behind the Byline, has documented his journeys to more than 80 countries. He has worn the same hat for all his travels. If only that hat could talk!

Last month, it became time to retire his faithful hat so he came to Edie Hats – of course! We outfitted him with a Stetson Explorer in charcoal grey. Water-resistant and crushable, it will really stand up to his adventures and look great doing it.

Edie Hats will be sure to follow Robin’s travels around the world and we’re proud to have provided him with a dependable, durable and stylish travel companion who won’t complain about the bugs.
