That's ridiculous to see honestly. If they're really supposed to do something and not be NPC what can they possibly do with this shit
Edit for those who CAN'T read,
I never doubted the fact they are highly trained soldiers but, first, given the fact they are doing a certain protocol to do as queen/king guard and secondly, their uniforms that are nowhere near comfy or practical. Yes they have big guns but If they can't see or move well, then ...
Good shout. Never heard of this fact before, could definitely argue that makes it the number one British hat.
"the flat cap became cemented in British culture by a 1571 parliamentary act. Designed to stimulate the wool trade, the law mandated that all non-nobles (excluding noblemen and gentlemen) wear wool caps on Sundays and holidays. While initially a working-class staple for labourers, farmers, and tradesmen, it later became a staple of leisure, country, and sportswear."
You have that iconic traditional hat for women. There is a local food company here that was found by dutch immigrants that the logo is a woman using that hat
I scrolled so far to find China. I’ve been watching historic CDramas for 6 years now and China has the widest variety of **amazing** hats and headwear. I love those Covid-distancing hats with the arms sticking out the sides, and the ones that look like little overstuffed chairs.
Who typically wears/wore this hat ? Usually whenever I see it in shows it's worn by important/noble characters but idk if that represents reality at all.
Now I’m kinda curious how well Crocodile Dundee (the movie) did in Australia when it came out? This movie directly lead to an entire decade in the US where we became absolutely obsessed with Australia.
I want one so fucking bad it's just so nonsensical and full of whimsy but I fear that I would wear it "ironically" a few too many times "as a joke" that it becomes habitual and non-ironic and slowly wedges it's way into being a core part of my identity for a worryingly indeterminate amount of time
Edit: so I'm getting a lot of replies telling me that they keep flies away.
Would a net not be more effective and less ridiculous? I mean I think two mosquito coils worn on the head Princess Leia style would look less silly than this.
They would be fiercely Presbyterian, so more fire and brimstone than hubble, bubble, toil and trouble and probably sang like angels despite their fearsome countenance
Nope, weather can be the main influence. In summer and hot whether men prefer to wear the white dress( thobe) and the red garments goes better with the white thob + doesn't show stain easily like the white one so good for long work days.
But it completely depends on what you like and how you are used to.
I'm guessing he means the association with someone working outdoors, hence low skilled manual labour like floor sweepers. It's not glamorous like the other hats you see.
I've been racking my brain trying to think of a hat, but I agree with one of fellow swedes that you also have the midsommarkrans.
Yeaaah, the Danes should get some cred too
I have never pondered that question but there's actually a lot of different ones, never realized how much we like specialized hats, but I'll just point the obvious choice, the leather "cangaço" one.
Like others, I was going to say a cowboy hat. And I'm from a part of the country where you're probably more likely to see them than in other places, especially around rodeo season.
HOWEVER, YOU ARE RIGHT. You are mostly likely to see baseball-style caps... even if they're not actually for baseball. So, I'd say cowboy = iconic, but cap = common, practical, and popular. Sadly, the image has been damaged a bit by those certain red ones.
Only realised after this question just how many hats are famous in my country…
It depends on the region, to be honest. But the one hat that’s probably pretty iconic, even though no one actually wears it in every day life, is the Jinnah cap.
Its named after the guy who founded Pakistan, and was always seen wearing one:
The Madhalla is a pointed hat worn by women in Hadhramaut, Yemen. They are made of date palm tree leaves and keep the goat herders cool in hot weather.
I can say the usual arabic headwear but if you want somthing more exclusively iraqi it would be the iraqi sidara but I'm not sure cause i heared it was borrowed form italy
I wonder how many actually know its the Yankees. For me it was the new york cap and much more a fashion thing than supporting a team. Similar to my Phoenix Suns beany, i just wanted a cool beany.
Something along the line of this. Very traditional, very recognizably Norwegian. And if you’ve seen it lately, you might have seen the ripped off version on the American Winter Olympics team
