PS. As a young man I never wore hats, reaction to being forced to wear a school cap, I guess. Now I realise I have 2 caps (wool), one woollen beanie for really cold weather, one waxed cotton brimmed hat for wet weather, the two hats mentioned in the previous post, one Tilley hat, one straw hat and a white "Hello Sailor"-type cap I was given by She-who-must-be-obeyed. (Who also persuaded me to buy some white chinos for holiday- one clumsy husband + red wine + tomato sauces + white trousers- I don't think so!).
