    Have you ever heard of a Marshmallow hat? That is what the tag reads, it is a product of the General Tire & Rubber Company. Would you say 60's?

    The tag states "Soft Luxurious Marshmallow is a superior vinyl fabric specifically designed for use in finer handbags and belts. ect ect....

    what a hoot!

    It's Michelin Tire style!

    It's toque in that it has no brim - not that toque is a word that sells many hats.

    It looks like something the marshmallow 'ghost' in
    Ghostbusters should be wearing! That is really unique, funky and fun! (not to mention waterproof).

    Never seen anything like it. Never know, stuff like this can
    fly.
