2 newsboy caps
1 flat cap
5 ‘outdoors’ style (wide brimmed, fur felt hats like the Biltmore Wilderness, an Akubra Pastoralist, a Stetson Billy Kidd western or a Banana Republic Safari)
All for wearing, although my normal wardrobe rarely...
The train scene always kills me: "Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?"
