The Bite:
You can if it's a high-fashion one. Check our picks for the haute-est go-anywhere headgear that's so magically eco, we wouldn't be surprised if you pulled a rabbit out of it.
Do you leave your hat on when you go to a party?

The Benefits:
- Trendy toppers. Turn heads with your stylish chapeau, whether you're uptown or on the slopes (although you'll probably wanna find something else for your luncheon with the queen).
- Hotness, not just haute-ness. We can lose over 50% of our body heat through our heads if we don't put a lid on 'em.
- Eco-conscious cappers. The textiles industry is second only to the petrochemical industry in generating pollution. Eco-hats are made from earth-friendlier organic and recycled materials.
Personally Speaking:
There was a year when Toshio never left his house without a baseball cap, even on dates. But after leaning in for a first kiss and smacking his date's face with the bill, he started leaving it at home.

Cocktail Fact
Last summer, a man flying from Peru to NY smuggled a small monkey in his hat; surprised fellow passengers asked him "if he knew he had a monkey on him."
Bang For The Bite
If 10,000 Biters opt for a cap made from reclaimed wool instead of virgin wool, we'll keep the weight of 13 full-on sheep in new wool out of production.
