About the solution
He built a hat catcher, using a retractable line from a pen, a lanyard, with a safety break to avoid throttling accidents, and a clip to connect the two.
“Once the lanyard and retractable line are connected, the hat is clipped to the line. The device is worn around the neck, backwards so the bulky bit hangs out of the collar at the back. Now when he’s out and about, the hat can only fly the length of the string, and can be easily retrieved”, Logan explained.
