Am I being unromantic when I tell my wife that I would love to get one of those sheepskin hats our Canadians are wearing in Torino as a Valentine's Day gift? I hope not, because I did. Man, they look sooooo warm, and how much more Canadian can you get with this one.

I really do want to congratulate HBC for this one. The Canadians look so, for lack of a better word, Canadian!! I love the fact that they take the Olympic uniforms to a new level each time. The Roots outfits were instahits on a global level, and I can see these fur trader hats being a huge hit. What I found to be funny was that in light of the pending sale of HBC, Canada's oldest company, to an American conglomerate, HBC put a perfect touch on the uniforms with these trader caps. The creation of the Hudson's Bay Trading Company so long ago was based on the fur trade, and the trader cap is such a symbolic Canadian headgear. Even more than the toque!!

So if anyone out there has a heart, please comment in this post and let my wife know that I REALLY REALLY want one of these hats!

I wonder if it fits over my Tory baseball cap.
