ratbuster 807 Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Got a f***ing lot of these things, and I still have a lot of hair on top Big fan of a paperboy's flat-cap, I owe that to The Peaky Blinders (8/4's as they are called correctly)Trapper fur hats, Trilby's, Panama's and so on. Even wear one in summer, to keep the sun out of my face. Makes one really stylish...... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

king 11,972 Posted January 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Usually wear an old cheese cutter/flat cap generally, a camo baseball type cap for the permission (so now redundant), and an original Sydney Oilskin which I bought in the Victoria Market in Melbourne about 10 years ago. That stops any rain pissing down your neck, quality. I just looked at them oilskin hats MG they do look spot on for keeping the rain.but do they cope ok with strong wind.

Only use it if its pissing hard mate, but they do have 2 small lugs with holes fashioned into them in case you want to attach a leather thong as a chinstrap. Not a very good photo I'm afraid.
