Before we headed to Texas a couple of weeks ago, I decided I needed a new cowboy hat. And a new pair of jeans, and a new Elliott Sadler t-shirt, and some new Nikes. Unfortunately, I only had enough money for the hat. But isn't it pretty? It's from Toby Keith's line of hats.
If you're unfamiliar with Toby Keith, he's a country music artist whose hits include An American Soldier and Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue. He sings--and speaks--openly about patriotism, supporting America, and having faith in the United States. He's probably most famous for feuding with Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks. Natalie said Toby's Angry American song was ignorant and Toby implied that Natalie was a commie heathen. He really, really likes America.
As a matter of fact, I could've bought his Toyo Outback Hat, a camouflage hat with the USA flag on the side. It's described as "patriotism, pure and simple." I instead went with the Seagrass Western, "good-looking, all-American, and a whole lotta fun." Yep. That Toby Keith, he's all about Amer--hey, what's this?
Ummm....Toby?

Well he did say "im not as good as I once was" maybe he was referring to his manufacturing standards.
Isn't having your product manufactured in China the highest form of being and American? ;)
man, that blows..
I'm not a country music fan, but I'm a fan of hats and that's a cute hat. Too bad he had to sell out like that.
I say rip the tag off and stick a little flag in there.
Oh noooooo! I hope there are no milk products in that hat...
I'm with jenni jiggity - watch out for those toxic products, lead paint included.
Oh, that is too funny - great post.
Tsk, tsk Toby. Is he getting any flack for it (besides from a girl in Arkansas)?
I love Toby's music!...and your new hat.
LOL
Yeah, kinda defeats the purpose, doesn't it? You'd think they'd have put that part of it together. Well done.
LOL can't say I am surprised! I love Toby anyway though!
To answer your question on my blog, yes I bought 2!
hmmm, that really is too bad! Love the hat though and still a Toby fan even if it was made in China!!
Okay, you made me crack up! It is so funny that he is so gungho about our dear country and the hats are made in China. WTH? He needs to get it together.
cool hat! I love Toby Keith too, didn't know he had his own line of hats. :)
GREAT!!!!
I LOVE that!
Thanks for this funny post.
Come on over to my blog; you have an award waiting for you!! =)
oh no! well, capitalism is the true American way. and getting your product manufactured as cheaply as possible would be in line with capitalism... so, i guess it's alright ;-)
Cool hat! I am not a big country music fan but I do like Toby Keith.
Ouch, bitten again by the overseas bug. That's why I go with Peter Grimm.
That's just wrong!
Oh, the irony!
That's hilarious!
