Same here would love some hats (other than wooly hats) but put one on and I just look like I'm wearing it for a bet.gremlin wrote: Tue Nov 29, 2022 4:31 pm I like hats. I have friends who wear them. They look stylish, rakish and elegantly cool. Yet I put one on and I look like one of the special kids out for a day trip licking the bus windows.
I have some hats but very rarely wear them. I'm lucky to have thick hair, so my head just gets too hot when I do unless its really cold. I favour the flat cap lately, but i'm more Failsworth than Kangol.Potter wrote: Wed Nov 30, 2022 6:12 am I'm a hat man (that sounds like it should have another meaning aside from a fellow who likes hats) and I have a varied collection, in the hallway at the moment on the hatstand is a bowler hat, a couple of newsboy caps and a pork pie. In the wardrobe are a few more newsboys, four or five trapper hats, a couple of trilbys and loads of assorted beanies and stuff.
One of the things I miss about living in a bustling city is that I can't wear my bowler, well I could but it would get too much attention.
Step into the street in London in my bowler and Burberry short Kensington and you'll hardly get a second glance, dress like that in a village in rural Lancashire and you'll get all kinds of unwanted attention - which is ironic really because it was designed as a gamekeepers hat and it would have been very common here once.
The whole top shelf of a three long wardrobe is just my hats.
I fancy an Indiana Jones type hat next - https://www.hatsandcaps.co.uk/products/ ... ight-brown
(Village Hats are good to buy from btw)
Is that a sobriety thing, number of yards not drunk?
Sobweity, damn old timer!! I can't spell let it alone do it
Megametre!
Well someone's already 'ad two of them.
I got mine in 2012 (a freebie!) and it's still in good shape. There are way more metres on the C2 now but it and the T shirt are both quality items!

and at 5, 10, 15 etc.Colleague of mine today stated (in written text) that something was X micrometers long. Apparently "how big was the micrometer?" was not the response he expected from me.cheb wrote: Thu Dec 15, 2022 7:39 pm Tacho and speedo on four bikes and the van. There's three for the electricity. Five electrical multimeters. A guess at seven for the compressors.
That's a total of 25. I've a long way to go.

Now you're a rural gent RB, should you feel the 'need for tweed' or an urge to 'horde some cord' - Cordings of Piccadilly are still in business, or to release your inner ghillie, the House of Bruar can tweak your breeks.Rockburner wrote: Thu Dec 15, 2022 10:10 pmLairds do some nice stuff.Potter wrote: Wed Nov 30, 2022 6:12 am I'm a hat man (that sounds like it should have another meaning aside from a fellow who likes hats) and I have a varied collection, in the hallway at the moment on the hatstand is a bowler hat, a couple of newsboy caps and a pork pie.

I have a Fedora, that gets used regularly, and a Hunter that I bought for shooting and have thus far never worn.

Bruar and Hoggs of Fife seem to be the same company in different jackets.cheb wrote: Fri Dec 16, 2022 8:57 am The House of Bruar is worth visiting in high season. You can watch Chinese tourists go in looking quite normal and come out looking like a cartoon Scot complete with there Clan heritage certificate.
The food hall was well stocked when I last went there. The clothing range is good too, more tweed than fleece, but only just.
