Do flat caps make you look like a brainless servant?

[Atticus Finch]

Nice try on blaming the cap,AF....

I was trying to slip that through...hoping at least most folks would buy it.

My mother, whenever she spoke of her dad and his pals from Glasgow, would describe them as, "All cloth caps and cardigans."

As one gets older one gets to the point where you could give a F*ck what other people think. an if they something stupid to me I say something offensive to them. About sticking something where the sun doesn't shine.

"Hargh, hargh, where'd ya get yer stupid hat, mister?"

"Last kid that took the P*ss was wearing it."

Never fails when delivered with the right growl. (Hell, in the Olden Days, the accent alone was enough sometimes. :lol: ).

My point of view:

True, in England the flat cap was associated with the proletariat but not with servants as such. But it was not exclusively theirs. I recall a comment by a maker of luxury cars with a sporting bent. Some criticized his cars for being too low, but he replied that when driving you only need enough headroom for a flat cap. This was in the twenties or thirties. So the buyers of expensive sports cars were not too good to wear them.
