Thoughts on the London Flat Cap Collective

TomLR was disappointed with his flat cap image on the LFCC recent inaugural night out. I told him that because of his more adventurous dress style the flat cap was not perhaps the best choice for him and,because of his love of bagpiping, he should consider wearing the Tam O Shanter. With a little stretch of the rules this could still be categorised as a ' flat cap '.

Tammies come in various styles and colours but I've prepared the following image to give you a view of what Tom would look like in one, which I think you would agree is more in keeping with the jumper.

                   

and this is how Dan and Paul would look in the same bonnet !!

                                                  

                                    

Tom by a clear head I think !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And now for a quick update on my pledges :-

Music

Sax lessons continuing weekly, working hard and making progress. We played a concert last Sunday in Amersham and had a full house (mainly family and friends). Training band played themes from 'New World Symphony' , 'Superman' film, 'Harry Potter' and 'Pomp and Cicumstance' . No big band swing numbers this time though but I'm hoping...............

Exercise

Still bashing on and making it a routine . If I miss a day for any reason I double up the next day

Garage Clearance

Abject failure so far.

Reading

Broadly on track - re-read 'The Ship' (CS Forrester) and 'Amongst Women' (John McGahern) but haven't got anything on the go at the moment. Might join the library soon.

I'm still getting up very much earlier than I used to and I've got a very early start to play golf tomorrow..................so good night !!!

Harry - I think I look better in the tam o'shanter. Thank you for showing me the future of headwear. Where can one buy an authentic tam?

Sadly it may already be time to move on from the flat cap. According to Asda everyone's wearing them in the South.

Though can't say I've seen many around myself - I obviously don't hang out with enough chavs, celebs, rappers or toffs.

If it wereùnt for this bloody french keyboqrd Iùd hqve q few zords to sqy qbout this: Qs is happens; weùll hqve to wqit until I return to UJ. Suffice to sqy I think it is I what looks best in the Tqb;,

Dan, most of the sales site on the Internet appear to be American - but have a look on there. I don't see you as tam wearer though. The cap looks good and I think a Fedora would be a good choice.

Let's see zhqt zords of zisdom Tom hqs for us zen he returns to the UJ.

Regqrds, Hqqrry !!!!!!!
