It seems they are very much a dying breed.<br />My father is more casual, but is never without a cap. First stop for me on a trip to Dublin was a quality menswear shop for something I hoped was the right size, for his collection.<br />Loved your treasured photo.

Once he and a man he knew well were waiting in the doctor's surgery but as neither of them were wearing their caps they failed to recognise one another till their names were called. "Hello, Ted," said the other man "didn't recognise you; I'd always assumed you were bald under your hat!" My father recognised the voice, "Hello, Brian, I always thought you had a full head of hair!"John "By Stargoose And Hanglands"https://www.blogger.com/profile/00832873074550725579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-41744855924708893742013-01-06T07:54:53.197-08:002013-01-06T07:54:53.197-08:00I like the photo too.
