who decided a bobble hat was appropriate headwear for an adult?

[threebikesmcginty]

When I went to pick my lad up from school today there was an older chap in his 60s who was wearing a bobble hat with two bobbles, ear flappy things with some sort of tassels on it, brightly coloured wool too, completely unnecessary. He had a kind of defiant look about him so that you knew he wasn't even wearing it in a ironic fashion, he was just wearing it in an and-what-are-you-gonna-do-about-it? way. I nearly punched him.

Its not a bobble anyway, its a "toorie"

Plus what Akubra named a 'Sombrero', but is better known as the 'BTM hat', or 'Bash' (un'bashed', it looks like the archetypal '10 Gallon hat')

As worn by this man.............

Why didn't you? Ear flappy things are even worse than bobbles.

The bobble hat 'sans bobble' is a style icon though...

Either grow a proper Chuck Norris beard or don't bother, pansy

I like my bobble hats without a bobble. My wife calls them my daft hats. She may have a point but I have a warm head.

You seem to have misspelt "make you look like nobber". HTH.

Me, I've got a woolie hat in the shape of a Klein Bottle. Can't get into it though.
