When I was a little kid, and my Dad had custody of my Uncle’s Jaguar XK120 for several months, I learned to call it a Sports Car Cap. Novels I read called it a Snap Brim Cap. That was before I learned there are many variations, each with a distinctive name, like Newsboy, depending on the number of panels, and method of construction.

But Bonnet? I thought that was what little girls have to wear to church on Easter Sunday, or that thing that you see lifted up on an MGB roadster on the side of the road while a Lucas electrical part finishes smoking. Now I learn it’s another word for hat?

My favorite, bought at JC Penny, of all places, at least 20 years ago. View attachment 1946866
The rest of the motley assortment. The two tweeds on the bottom I found at Armstrong’s Surplus in Edinburgh. Pronounced “Edinbruh”, ya wankers.View attachment 1946867

That's a fine cap selection Jeff :cool: Bonnets are traditional in Scotland, of various types, but usually fuller than most other caps I think, as well as brimless :thumbsup:

Very nice assortment of flat caps, Jeff. Top drawer Lambfoot and images, too.

Thanks Steve, I looked online, and it seems vision disturbance is quite common with Covid. It got to the point where I couldn't see well enough to type this morning. Still getting some disturbance, but I hope it'll be OK again soon

I hate to be a "Debbie Downer" but vision disturbance can be a symptom of many things. If possible, I'd seek medical attention. (easier said than done these days, I know)
