Change of season, change of hats.

Replacing things that have fallen apart or got so filthy that they achieved self-awareness.

I’m 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.

Barbour’s own web site is good for their stuff. The own-brand Kangol site is some central European depository that wanted €16 for shipping a single hat, so I went to Village Hats who cost less and don’t charge for shipping.

Nope.

In an excellent example of virtue signalling, all I use is a TarpHat. It’s 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.

TarpHat DerpHat :wink:

Sorry, just been scrolling back through this thread, I hadn’t 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.

The last one should be your ‘impressionist painter’ look.
Excellent!

I have often grieved the demise of the Tricorn hat.

I prefer the term “brain-cosy”, but it all fits, so to speak…

Leather ?

One does wonder.

Remember those grainy film clips of Edwardian gents promenading jerkily and slightly-too-fast in their dapper suitings and smart hats? Recall thinking what peaceful and civilised times those must have been?

From the producers of such hits as The Boer War, The World’s First Concentration Camps and World War One, I present to you:
