Coolest Istanbul Souvenir, ABSOLUTE POWER
Absolute Power
I was walking across the Galata bridge late at night in Istanbul when I ran into a very old Turkish man wearing this hat. It was unreal that someone that old could be wearing such a cool hat. I don’t mean to say anything agist, but I was not in San Francisco you know, I am just saying. I went up and talked to him, his name was Salman and he spoke no English, but he could tell I liked his hat and the guy was obviously pretty cool and very young at heart where it matters most. I told him I was originally from Peru and he gave me a hug. If you look real close you can tell it was hand made, probably by some local Istanbul designer. Salman let it go to me for 15 TL, about 10 bucks. The best $10 I have ever spent, it’s golden like a crown. I officially own the coolest baseball hat in the world. If anyone has any information about the hat designer, please comment.
