Tip your ten-gallon to National Hat Day

Dig out your derby, find your fedora and put on your porkpie -- Tuesday is National Hat Day! In honor of the headgear holiday, the folks at Yahoo have provided us with some hat-related search intel, including that Stetson was the top-searched hat brand on Yahoo in the last year (New Era was No. 2), and that the top-searched hat-related term of the past month was, thanks to the recently ended lockout, “NHL snapback.”

In other National Hat Day related news, (and really, how often do you hear that?), fast-food chain Arby’s -- the one with the cowboy-hat logo -- is urging customers to sign a White House petition designating the ten-gallon hat “America’s first and only official national hat.” (To sweeten the deal, it’s offering a coupon for 50% off a chocolate molten lava cake.)
