40 year old Glengarry freshening
Yes I got this Robert Mackie Glengarry in the 1980s.
It's been exposed to countless hours of sun, sweat, and rain.
I was able to wash most of the salt-stains from the binding ribbon, but what to do about the faded cockade?
Figuring it wasn't faded on the reverse side I removed it and flipped it.
(Note all the holes from the various cap-badges which have been mounted on this Glengarry over the decades.)
Now the hat is presentable, and I'll be wearing it for a church gig this Sunday.
(I did buy a new Mackie Glengarry that I found tucked away in a small obscure shop after Mackie announced they were closing down their traditional bonnet division. Some day I'll get round to wearing it.)
