    just some irrelevant facts lol.. not got a derby or homburg; nor a porkpie for that matter but do have trilbys
    Thanks for the info, I’ve got a few other hats around, one that I only wear when it’s raining.

    A proper cowboy hat is hard to pull off, but I do see them around. As you go out west and down in Texas, they are far more fashionable. I see the very old John Wayne movies, and it strikes me funny that once upon a time, the bigger your hat, the cooler you were! A man walks in with a 10 gallon hat, and demands respect because he’s got the biggest hat in the room! I guess out on the lonesome prairie you have to live under that thing. Like a small tent you wear on your head? Cast shade on the horse too?

    And baseball caps! Oh man, they are epidemic here, everyone, everywhere has one on, some wear forward, others wear backwards, and I honestly can’t help but laugh at the ones with the extra long bill! It’s like a standard uniform, every young man wears Levi jeans, a logo’d T shirt, and a baseball cap, honestly they all look the same, how does a girl choose?

    My rain hats

    My summer hat. Has had more wear this month than in last few years due to improved weather
    That’s a nice hat, I’d wear a hat like that

    When I was an apprentice, my boss used to take me with him when he was delivering packages of stationery to customers in his beige Austin 1300. He never spoke much, but the journeys were always er, eventful. The one line he spoke more than anything else, was "And you!" to other drivers.

    He always drove in this trilby that was sort of a Tweedy look (I'm sure Grant will know the proper name for it).

    If anyone ever saw the sitcom "Keeping up Appearances", Hyacinth Bucket's husband always wore an identical one when driving his blue Rover 213.
