What can be said about the hat that I wear so much. I’ve put 2 years of heavy use on my Orvis Trout Bum Mesh Baseball Hat & like a fine wine (or scotch), it only gets better with age. I purchased a replacement a couple of months ago at Chattanooga’s Orvis Retailer Feather & Fly, (actually, I purchased both a green & orange this time…) but I haven’t worn them as much because the worn one is trained so well. The fit, even on the new ones, is so comfortable & the style is perfect for everyday wear. I want to get the saltwater series, but I need to wait until I’ve actually caught some of the fish on them, as to maintain my legitimacy as an angler. (I don’t want to be thought a poser…) Anyways, the purpose of this post is to give a major endorsement of this particular piece of headgear. Two thumbs up! 5 star rating! Etc… I’ve included a few pictures for comparison between the old & the new, as well as some shots of the hat doing what it does best… covering my dome.

I’ve been a busy man…
For the past several weeks i’ve been working non-stop 16-20 hr days on the Wes Hixon project, which was completed yesterday at 5 pm. I created a 72-page catalog, a folding self-mailer, a complete logo redesign, business cards, a 10′ wide x 8′ tall tradeshow backdrop & a 36′ wide x 8′ tall tradeshow backdrop (yes, i said thirty-six feet), all in full hi-resolution. Last night was my first real sleep since before Christmas! Here’s a look at the smaller (10′x8′) tradeshow backdrop. The catalog will be posted online one of these days & I’ll link to it then. Visit Wes Hixon’s website on my links panel to the right.
A new look for Creek and Trail
I am currently working hard on a client’s design project, but made the time this weekend to design a new screensaver for myself. I used an old map of the southeast from the turn of the century (guess i have to specify early 1900′s now) which centers on the Smoky Mountains & the A.T. (my stomping ground for all things outdoor recreational)
