Another Facebook post with some basic information:
Day 7 of 31 Parade of Hats. No trip through Europe would be complete without an English Bowler! I have a couple, but this Dunn & Co. in a nice gray is of note. Probably made in the 1960s, this Bowler has the classic lines of a fine men's hat. The "Stiff Felt" hats have been around since the mid 1800s. They were originally created for game keepers to protect them from low hanging branches...or so the story goes. Soon, everyman would have one on their heads. And the trend crossed the oceans and the "Derby" was born in the USA. Cowboys didn't always wear "cowboy" hats, they most often hat a stiff felt Derby.

I'll Lock Up

Beats being stuck in the cave all day, and there's nothing like a little daily stroll through Paradise. Do you need the mask out there? Just wondering.
I haven't been stuck in a cave, but I have certainly fallen down some deep dark holes from time to time, and today I gratefully appreciate the light. Probably don't have to wear a mask when out walking as there are not too many crowds, and we were quick to lock down. However, I like to wear a mask to send a message "It says: Watch out. There's a public health crisis right now, there's a virus going around, we need to be on top guard,... "I think it can actually be a reinforcer, a reminder of the state of crisis that we face in society.". Plus, It is a fashion statement. LOL
