Hats

Hats, Caps, Chapeaus, and other head adornments
Well it is time for a theme on what covers the old beaner or head. Needless to say thru the blog you have seen that I have consistently worn my old hat that seems to keep out the sun and sometimes the rain and the wind. Now this hat has seen better days but then so have I and therefore I am quite comfortable in it. Sort of scruffie and I don’t have to worry about it having a perfect shape.
Now in the east you see fewer hats I have noticed. Out west every cowboy and gir has a Stetson hat or 10 gallon version. Some are high and others not so high but the do seem to do the job. When we were at Fort Erie did you notice the tall garrison hat worn by British soldiers at the turn of the century. Black wit ha large brass insignia on the front.
The Indian Sikhs wear a turban and I spotted several of them here in Canada among its immigrants. The modern day cowboy even though he is older still prefers his large hat and to be really cool it has to be somewhat battered up in my opinion.
The cap or baseball cap is also popular especially among younger people but to me it does not cover enough of the head (but that’s just me).
Well I hope that you enjoyed this little diversion into the coverings that we put on top of ourselves. Maybe next time I can add a few more pictures.
