What you are trying to say Peter, is that you manage to hold your hat on with your knees wink

I do use a baseball cap but more a sailing style one as they seem to stay on better. For LMC and the Shelsley vintage events, I wanted something a bit more period. Flat caps never really stay on my head until I found a leather baker boy style by Stetson and a linen version. They seem to do the biz!


I will admit to a flat cap, my beloved Harris Tweed Bakers Boy style bought in Scotland last year, I won't admit to the sailing cap (can't bring myself to admit it's exactly the same as a baseball cap) I bought to keep the sun out of my eyes, as a glasses wearer it stops the double reflections, it's fading nicely and looking well worn in now ;-). Also I think you have seen me in the cap Jay so better be honest ;-).
