When I was a boy, we used to call flat bunnets "coo's caps", after their similarity to organically-produced extruded items typically found on a cow pasture.

Sorry to reminisce, but my Dad had a brown corduroy one which he donated to me when I was a boy, so I could pretend to be a Scottish league goalie. Goalies like Billy Ritchie of the ‘Gers wore one. I later got an ex-US forces olive-green baseball cap, so I could imitate Jim Cruickshank, the goalie of my favourite team, Heart of Midlothian FC (aka Hearts, Jam Tarts, Jambos, The Maroons, The Maroon Machine).

In fact, in the early 1960’s, years before accurate replica team kit was available on the market, you could only get a variety of v-necks. So for kids, imitation shirts were:- Aberdeen was a red/white v-neck, Rangers was a mid blue and white v-neck (with wrong white sleeve edging), Celtic was all green with white v-neck (no hoops), Hibs was same as Celtic (not even all-white sleeves). Hearts was maroon/white v-neck. All pathetic !! I I got my mum to convert my not-so convincing maroon/white Hearts V-neck, short sleeved strip into a passable imitation of their unique collar/infill front team shirt, by sewing on one of my dad’s old white detachable collars (complete with stud-hole) and a triangle of white elastic material over the v-front. My mum also sewed a white number on the back. I was so proud to be a “proper” Jam Tart. I was still a bit miffed about the socks through. Hearts often wore white socks with 3 maroon bands on the tops whilst you could only buy ones with 2 maroon stripes for kids. At least I eventually got the maroon socks with all-white tops, Hearts usual design. Hearts also wore all maroon socks with one white band around the tops.

Nowadays, it’s so easy (and expensive !). I don’t know if old Brits will recall that in the 1960’s etc, these “imitation” strips could not be sold with team badges. As a result, I had a Scotland kit, of dark blue and white v-neck, white shorts and red/black socks. But no Scotland badge ! It was not allowed as it broke a copyright or such-like. So I had to buy a blazer badge that looked as much like a Scotland badge as I could get ! We were so imaginative in those days before spoon-fed commercialism.

BTW I did have a magic complete Wolves kit though – gold/black v-neck, black shorts, black socks with 2 gold bands, just like the real thing !
Lastly, I did have two real Scottish league shirts, which ex-footballer Jackie Neilson gave to my dad for me – East Fife (1950’s striped black/gold shirt with collar and big heavy badge) and Dundee United (his brother Tommy Neilson’s shirt “No 8” – white with black v and short sleeves, two black hoops, DUFC badge and red “8” high on back. I loved that shirt ! It’s still in my Dad’s house today.

Sorry to get nostalgic ! Please add your own memories . I’ll start a new thread !
