Any beanie accrued from a supplier or past employer. I've got RAB and Timberland ones aswell.

I don't get wet or cold anymore though. That was part of the plan when I thought f**k this at 2am fixing buses and coaches or doing oils & waters in driving rain in the winter working for some f**ker else.
you should speak to my son.

I confess my latest new to me farm hat was found on the beach. A penny’s (primark ?) bucket hat that probably cost it’s original owner less than a fiver. If I wanted to spend a bit more on an out and about hat I would buy a Barbour wax bucket hat.

Yes … the light fell off so it’s just a beanie now .. with a hole
had this type before, just enough light and the hat is tougher than just normal woolly type, but not rechargeable

I could lend you my favorite hat----, it's got style and a bit of history

Got given it in 1978
1984 i stuffed it in a rabbit hole whilst ferreting (ran out of nets) & forgot about it
1987 after 3 years working in USA i ferreted the same warren and re-found it
Still gets worn on special occasions & is always remarked on (not always with most flattering terminology)
