hats: technical terms etc

is there a proper name for the mid-80's look hat favoured by von, the nephilim, the mish etc.

it's christmas and i've only got a limited wish list. i anticipate a rush of stetsons, akubras, rancher hats etc. fancy dress is all the rage round our way this year and one likes to look ones best

its also a reflection of the passage of years in that my proud mohican of that era can no longer rear it's (not-too-) ugly head. solely due to responsibility taking over from irresponsibility at some point in the intervening years, of course

i'm glad you put the clicky in, a poke bonnet means something completely different here

so, no takers then ?

The black one's getting close but I'd suggest you'd have to jump up and down on it a few times and spill some lager on it to 'crisp' it up and give it that weathered look. :von:

Edit: The link seems to have changed, so click on western leather hats, then suede outback.

It's only authentic if Mr Clone has sat on it.

Indeed, and one of the more 'interesting' Sisters related claims to fame.

Yes. I've always wondered whether the flour turned gluey like papier mache when he got all sweaty on stage (*holds that thought*) :lol:
