Don't worry - unless you're the size of a barn door you stand a good chance of escaping unharmed.

Reminds me of a put-down once heard on a range...

"You're so useless you couldn't hit a barn door..."

with a pause for effect, then

"...from inside the bloody barn!"

I bought one this weekend for wearing in my roadster.

Only mildly feel like I look daft. Mainly when I go into a supermarket or something with it still on my head.

Problem with flat caps is that they can be deeply plebean as in Andy Capp or upper class twit as in The Hon Rupert Trumpington-Smythe. It partly depends on the style and quality of the cap. I’m keeping my options open as I hope I fit into neither category!

Head wear of choice where I live, along with a Schoffel waistcoat and an Land Rover product of some sort, age irrelevant! You can get your ear defenders on over the top of them, you see!

Heck..and I was just pondering a Rangie Sport, ( not Overfinch, which would rule out the cap.)

You need several flat caps to enable this domestic dialogue after you have parked your LR. “ I’m goin back to t pub, I’ve left me cap”. “ You’ve got six caps”. “Ay, but that one’s me favourite”. It’s time I and the posters in doubt invested in flatties.
