Change of season, change of hats.
Replacing things that have fallen apart or got so filthy that they achieved self-awareness.
Iâm gratified to find that both Barbour and Kangol do their best sellers in all sizes S/M/L/XL/Freak so have indulged in a new Barbour bucket hat, a Barbour waxed flat cap and a classic Kangol 504 all in XXL/63cm.
Barbourâs own web site is good for their stuff. The own-brand Kangol site is some central European depository that wanted âŹ16 for shipping a single hat, so I went to Village Hats who cost less and donât charge for shipping.
Nope.
In an excellent example of virtue signalling, all I use is a TarpHat. Itâs made of reused tarpaulins from Brazil (probably off lorries hauling logs from the rainforest), and it acts as both sun hat and rain hat. I never need to think about which hat to wear.

Sorry, just been scrolling back through this thread, I hadnât noticed your picture.
Sebastian Horsley, sadly no longer with us.
I have two hats: a grimy original Tilley from longer-ago than I care to recall, which has travelled the World with me and now keeps the rain (and very occasional sun) out of my eyes; and a waterproof beanie/Benny-from-Xroads job which is warmer and stuff-in-pocketable, but a mite less effective.
Fed up with rampant bonceism that means that literally nobody makes a bucket hat for your supersized gourd?
Look no further than Mike at the Long Shot Experiment in Manchester.
Can you make this one
in 63cm?
âNo problem, Iâm making one in 66cm this weekâ (now thatâs a melon!). Fits absolutely bob-on, despite being rather scaled up. Dead chuffed.

While Iâm here, somehow a docker cap / watch cap seems to have become my âpersonal style signifierâ.
Because of the usual prejudice 
you can usually only get them with a wanky expandable band and even that doesnât fit me. However Bullani in Bamberg make them in 1cm increments
and Breiter in Munich have a sign in the window that basically says âyeah, this is about the only place you can buy themâ.
Bought a couple more last weekend. I have wool for winter, linen for summer and leather for the

The last one should be your âimpressionist painterâ look.
