    A good tweed driving hat is a blessing in the winter. (Like Nick, I wear a wool felt defora quite a bit in the winter. In fact, if it's cold, I'm gonna have either a fedora, a driving hat, or a bonnet; bonnet more often that not.)

    Another good thing about a driving hat is that it can be had in cotton dck for summer wear.

    I have a Donnegal tweed driving cap I wear in the cooler weather. Very comfortable and practical.

    This is a Tudor era flat cap. Mine'll probably have a slightly smaller crown (flatter and less puffed.)

    I crocheted a hat that looks an awful lot like that when I was trying to make a dreadlock tam with a sun hat brim. Turned out badly. I should try again with this picture in mind.

    These hats look remarkably similar to the hats worn by the afghans.

    as i know they used hats also as wallet and bag for small things.
    with such hats it's also interesting idea.
