The brim turns up at the back to catch rain/snow (and, admittedly, channel it over your face, but it saves the back of your neck). And, in sombre, go-anywhere black, it'll be perfect for all occasions!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529903.post-1169424575307732762007-01-22T11:09:00.000+11:002007-01-22T11:09:00.000+11:00Indubitably.

There's a green fedora in P. G. Wodehouse's _Pigs Have Wings_ (worn by a murder victim, unfortunately), which, in my book, clinches matters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529903.post-1169417162886822812007-01-22T09:06:00.000+11:002007-01-22T09:06:00.000+11:00The vote seems to be in favour of the beanie.
