I always imagine rab c nesbitt in lycra when I think of noodley.

That would be me knotted 'kerchief look.

hehe, I can just imagine you and jamesie going cycling with slabs of stella tied to your backs like rucksacks.

Given your more than slightly disturbing mental images of me from another thread, I would say that is a preferable image for you to hold

The new avatar doesn't do you justice, I'm sure.

I have a fedora (which admittedly I don't wear that much). My current preferred hat is a 1930s-style tweed driving cap... although I will probably be wearing my Norwegian wool one if it carries on being this cold much longer.

I've got something like 17 diferent forms of headgear if you include cycling, climbing and motorcycling helmets. For smart wear I have a Glengarry like this, thought I've removed the chequers and the bobble, which have slightly sectarian overtones:

I want a Balmoral, which is an equally warm and romantic hat:

and looks good on the right shape of head:

I wore a Weekender (from Bates Hats) during the winter months many years ago. That used to attract some comment but I liked it. I also have something like a Breton cap, but without the braid, that I got in a Guernsey chandlers - that gets warn a lot. Also a Peruvian hat (not one of those alpaca woolly hats with the ear cover bits, this is a stiffer construction) and I'll wear that more casually, even gardening. I used to have a Russian hat (a 'ushanka' google reliably informs me) but that got left in a Soho pub and was never seen again - pee'ed me off, that did. Plus several woolly beanie hats and freebie, or found, baseball caps - and, of course, a couple of cycling caps.

I do like hats and would love to see more men wearing them, and not just baseball caps etc.It's a real shame imo.

 

[Headgardener]

During the winter I wear a woolly hat without the bobble and during the summer my prefered headwear is a broadbrimmed 'roo hide stockmans hat and of course my cycle helmet when on the bike.

Presumably that's the wrong shape of head then?

I wear a hat almost every time I'm out. Helps keep my head warm and stops my pate from being sunburned, though not at the same time!

Hats are essential to us who are follically challenged !
