[May 3, 2023] The more experience I gained in the military, the more I learned to appreciate creative people. This way of thinking is not what you typically find in our military services. Early this morning, I ran across a young lady, Abby Cox, a “dress historian, sewist, and elder millennial.” How’s that for an introduction? Especially compared to my description as an ordinary “foot soldier.”
By the way, what the heck is a “sewist” anyway? But I digress. What I will say after reading a few chapters of her books and watching a couple of videos, and reading her articles, is that I was impressed. One recent video was “The Disappointing Truth On Why We Don’t Wear Hats Anymore…” (link here, a YouTube video, 23:221 minutes). Plenty of history with authentic footage and thoughtful dialogue.
But Abby Cox is not creative because she tells a good story. She’s creative in her own right because she can look at desperate past fashion, fads, and trends and extract some fantastic insights. And Abby loves hats. That is where we depart ways; I hate hats, as I announced in “I Hate Hats … but they symbolize my leadership” (link here). My article makes Abby’s points, but she is far more of a thinker regarding hats. Good for her. I wish her well.
Most of her audience is women. I get this from reading the comments made on her books and videos. That does not mean that men cannot gain something from her, and I encourage them to watch this video on hats.
Thanks, Abby Cox, for making the history of hats (in America) so enjoyable.
Her website can be found here.

Please read my books:
Very nice.
Well Sir, let me respectfully say that you hate hats since ya still have a very important asset to display- Hair.
Me, as you know is quite folically challenged
So, I do love a hat.
Wife calls me many things- HATMAN is one of the most endearing.
Hi Bobby the “R”, we are on the same wave length here. I am bald and hats are a must. I think Gen. Satterfield might be headed in the same direction.
🤣
I love Abby Cox because she is her own woman. We need more like her. Leadership in action!
Thank you Gen. Satterfield for giving us Abby Cox.
This is more than about being a woman, but being your own self and doing those things you love. If we all could do that, we would all be better off. I wish only the best for Abby Cox.

The more experience I gained in the military, the more I learned to appreciate creative people. This way of thinking is not what you typically find in our military services. Early this morning, I ran across a young lady, Abby Cox, a “dress historian, sewist, and elder millennial.” How’s that for an introduction? Especially compared to my description as an ordinary “foot soldier.” – Gen. Doug Satterfield. Now, he really is making an important point. Or several points. Think “outside the box.”
It never hurts to look into those things where you may have zero interests. You might actually find out about something that is useful and “entertaining” too, just like Abby Cox. Once again, Gen. Satterfield does not disappoint. But do watch her YouTube videos, like I’m doing right after I post this in his comment section.
Got that right Doc.
**** Abby Cox is the best ****
Well done, Gen. S for giving us Abby Cox today.
Abby Cox has made her way into a non-traditional occupation. Good for her. Thank you Gen. Satterfield for highlighting her for us. I plan on getting a copy of one of her books just to support her.
Smart move, Hal. I will do the same. If Gen. Satterfield recommends someone, then that person sure has guts and panache. Abby Cox has got it. For those new to Gen. S’s website, you will find that he will give us someone who stands out in the crowd. Looks like Abby Cox is our person today to look into. So, just don’t read this article, but look into her articles and videos. Personally, I’m watching her videos. Very educational and entertaining.
— and she’s cute too. 😊
I think Gen. Satterfield was referring to her creativity and ability to grab your attention about a subject most of us would never even think about. Just me thinking. ha ha ha ha
You go girl …..
