All rise. Once more, #DuragHistoryWeek is upon us. Ladies and gentleman, this is a time to celebrate history’s greatest headwear and most prescient invention. The thing that keeps the waves spinning like 24s on a caddy, candy paint gleaming in the low-slung sun. It’s the gift that keeps on giving. The gift of warmth. The gift of style. The gift of waves. May thou protect thou waves from the spirits of evil men all the livelong days.

Without further ado, a few highlights:
