Hannah Hats of Donegal - simply wonderful hats made in a traditional manner. I'm sure Mr. Y would approve!

Quite a few angler, me included, wear a Akruba Snowy River..they are expensive...about £130, but often appear on eBay going cheap, yet unworn, by sellers who bought an Aussie souvenir on holiday, but don't have the nerve to wear them in the UK.

But you could try something a good deal cheaper:

Christies light felt for me, keeps the weather out and warmth in. Got mine from Bridgenorth market years ago. Great piece of kit, probably more Mr Crabtree than Mr Yates though.

Leigh cannot take all the credit have a barking mad Irish wolf hound and Spud, the Merlin and Eve Lurcher who has really got into Traditional angling there maybe a slight resemblance to CY as well.
