" A winter hat does two things well: keeps your head warm and gets lost. Regarding the second point, it doesn&amp;#039;t matter how careful you are, what rare fiber \u2014 cashmere, mohair, qiviut \u2014 it&amp;#039;s made of, which of your grandmas or great-aunts or girlfriends knitted it for you. At some point, your hat will disappear. And then you&amp;#039;ll feel cold and guilty.  Solution: the official U.S. Navy wool watch cap. Black, to absorb heat and stains. Basic, to go with formal dress or tailgate slobbola. Warm. And cheap \u2014 twenty bucks gets you a pair at any local military surplus store (and they&amp;#039;re even cheaper at Amazon). Wear one and keep the other at work. Yep, you&amp;#039;ll lose one. Nope, you won&amp;#039;t care. Meanwhile, grandma&amp;#039;s labor of love \u2014 and it is love, jackass \u2014 will remain safely at home in the front closet, so you can clap it on your ungrateful head next time she pops over to visit the kids. Everybody wins.
