Recommend a Flat Cap

[Efbe]

So it turns out only two types of hat in the entire world suit me.
a 1950s fedora, which is a bit much or a flat cap.

so who makes good respectable flat caps?

You will either look like this:



or this



I'm going with the latter

It works by detecting a tag on the cat's collar - but if the cat has been chipped - it can read that too. The cat flap will only admit cats that you have programmed it for.

Works great - if a little pricey. But at least you don't have to worry about strays getting in.

I am actually a fan of flat caps on men

Plain black one from John Lewis. I sport one in winter time, last year a consultant surgeon I visited complimented me on it and declared he had "hat envy".

£9.99.

This is Pistonheads. It's obviously no good unless it cost eleventy hundred quid and comes from some obscure double-named shop in that there London town.

My suggestion to the OP is that if you have to ask for advice then you are not old enough to go hat-shopping alone.

Got mine in M&S, look much more than they cost

I'm a Brand/Marketing Guff Addiction Counsellor for a living. I'm here to cure.

(That'll be £100 for the first hour please, £75 per subsequent hour or part thereof, I can be found in the first bus shelter on the left in Harley Street, in that there London town.)

The Chinese army hat is the ONLY hat you'll ever need.

About 40 odd Pistonheaders can't be wrong...!

It looks cool on you perhaps, but on me I'll probably be invited to join the Labour Party.

Borsalino. And they make the best fedoras too.

You need to get a chipped one, or any Cat can use it, I recommend any of the Chipped range from PetsatHome.

Bizarrely that how I read the title.
