    Tweed Driving Cap

    When tootling along the London to Brighton road in one's 1928 Bentley 4 1/2 litre, one's driving goggles will keep the grit out of one's peepers, but what can be trusted to remain firmly on the head, and also afford one the requisite panache to persuade a young tyke to mind the motor, while one takes a few ales in a Sussex tavern? Nothing will do but a tweed driving hat such as this.

    I love The Chap! Wello done, good sir! Will you be attending the cricket match on the morrow? Perhaps a gin and cucumber sandwich afterward?

    Well I would my good man but the young tyke has gone off with my motor so I will have to console myself with another round of ale. Toodle pip.

    Ale? Ale!?! Good day, sir. I have no time for dealing with a meager proletariat such as yourself. I say, good day.

    Thank you, no. I know that only Americans understand american tastes, but personally, find that gin makes the bread go soggy.....Robbie

    It reminds me of the cap that was briefly popular in the U.S. after the first Beatle invasion (in America) and the release of "A Hard Days Night" in 1964. My two older brothers each had one along with a corduroy jacket for the colder days.
