Title: hats
Post by: paddy on July 28, 2008, 10:32:44
Hi all
After sweating all weekend i have decided to try and source a hat to keep the sun off a little bit.
Any body got any suggestions ?
It probably ought to be machine washable as i tend to get in a bit of a mess!!

Thanks

"Hot" Paddy

this is a good topic, paddy, I think we all should put pics of our hats on here, some of them are shockers  :)
Ray got a cap from matalan and turns it around to stop his neck getting burned  ;D

Very pricey but has so far lasted about  eight years and is still in good condition...warning: the marketing is a bit over the top

Trouble is, I could never keep a hat for eight years without losing it!

Marks and sparks have an all weather hat, nice rim for keeping the sun off, water proof if you get caught out in a shower, washable. It also has something in the rim that protects you from dangerous rays. Handy if we get invaded from outer space. (OR COULD IT BE RAYS FROM WIGAN) ;D
