A confession. I am a hat man.

Ah, a fez. Now I quite fancy one of those.

Reading Wikipedia on the fez I've just stumbled upon the amazing fact that fezs are worn by many people in many countries and by some secret societies, including The Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World:

How do I join?

What, just like that.

Right, can everyone just stop the internet for a few minutes and marvel in wonderment at this post

@Marmion, is this legal for someone who isn't Scotian to wear a Glengarry?

Yes but they'd only be Scotch laws and they don't count.

I'm actually posting from Nigeria right now, on what must be my fiftieth or more visit to this country. Though I say it myself I have done much to improve the lives of ordinary Nigerians and I'm still hoping that before I retire in a year or two one of my customers might endow me with a chieftancy, in which case I will have the right to wear a bowler hat and wave a walking cane around. I was given a cane in Sudan as a gift of honour but it was so naff and ugly that I actually left it behind a curtain in the lounge at Addis Ababa airport.

Anyone who thinks they are dashing can wear one

Excellent, it shall be on my list. And it shall probably annoy the hell out of my boss Gary who is Scottish and thinks the phrase frocking up racist.

You'll have straggly tails on your hat and on your face

Just walk fast or face into the wind as it blows off the Sound of Jura.

Got to love a hat......Everyone immediately thinks you have a full head of hair.

They'll be perfect for when you fancy roaming in the gloaming or walking on bonnie banks or bonnie braes

My God! You've actually taken SIX selfies of yourself! I don't think I've ever taken one, unless by mistake and then I've deleted them straight away.

Yeah, it's been said.

When he asked if you wanna be in his gang I think you make have taken it a little to literally.

Not any more, we don't!

Flat cap man me. Must be some Yorkshire ancestry, which would explain my fondness for pushing Hovis laden bicycles up steep hills.
