Re: Hats
by Griffer
I'll take a shot at this, maybe something a little less...dry.

Robin grumbled as he stumbled over to his chest after another narrow escape runin with the Sherrif of Nottingham. Well, narrower then he would have liked, because it had cost him his hat. While he was glad that the arrow hadn't flown a little lower, he was idssapointed that it hadn't flown a little higher rather than right through his hat. After rummaging through the chest for a few moments, he resurfaced with a triangular piece of felt and some lether lace. With the skillful stitching of someone accustomed to a chore, Robin wrapped the felt into a flat cone, stitched it quickly, and the sewed a hem around the bottom, finishing it off with a red feather plucked from a stash he kept in a red bag. Robin left, attempting to find a comforable spot for the stiff cap to rest comfortably on his head.

There, that's a description that's a little more interesting. You could have a lot of variations on this, but you should discribe the hat dynamically, not as something static. Like a "woodsman hat" etc.

Just a little piece of advice.

To find North, one must first determine which way is which, which way is right, and be dissapointed that North is left.
