Re: How old is your hat
Being a Bucks boy, I had to have an Olney waterproof hat. Had it about 20 years now and it still does the job!

What is your favourite word?
I suspect it could be “love”, despite its drawbacks in the rhyming department.

Re: How old is your hat
I've got a few hats. The expensive Australian Snowy River ones, bought secondhand on ebay where they are a tenth of the new price are probably fairly new....
My oldest hat is a camouflage cloth Cobden 'beanie' that has Empire Made on the label....at a guess it's as old as me....Fifties or Sixties maybe??

Re: How old is your hat
My dad died twenty years ago. Despite being adopted we shared the same hat size. I shares hair time with a flat cap of his that has a button, that after release, can look a little gay. My other is a Toggi. A bit Swiss with the feathers. It's practical with an all round rim. With my full beard I can look a bit shaker-ish for English streams.
One was inherited and the other was seven quid posted so I can live with that...
Have taken some photos but Photobucket is getting useless. Uploaded one of the three photos then I get ads for Russian babes. It doesn't do landscape on the iPad either. Shame, I've a lot of archive on there.

Re: How old is your hat
No idea how old they are, I am a sucker for hats and caps and have loads of them collected over many years. Which do I wear? The first to come to hand when I am rushing out of the door going fishing. I do not have a favourite, all I ask that it keeps my head dry and the sun out of my eyes.

We often take the dog for walkies in gale to storm force winds? You have to suspend tradition and wear something like a beanie or extra strong hairspray....

I probably have the youngest hat. Here is my Christmas present from Jessica.

Re: How old is your hat
I used to love my flapped deerstalker, still got it. Perhaps it is time to give it another outing or two. I think it only made it out a couple of times last year to fend off ear biting winds.
I removed the stiffener from the rear peak on mine, originally so the extra high collar on a Musto Highland jacket didn't keep nudging it off, but also has the advantage that you can pull a hood up too in real foul weather.
