Dreadful hats

I was trying to describe these hats -

I'd call that a flowerpot hat, and they were certainly to be found in the UK in the 70s and 80s too. They were briefly fashionable at the turn of the 90s as part of the Madchester thing. Also still in vogue for wearing while watching cricket or fishing, but in those cases probably not least because they've been owned continuously since the 70s or 80s.

(Although a comment suggests they're made of towelling? I *think* my dad had one like that when I was young, but I haven't seen one made of towelling in a long time...)

Yes, towelling.

That person LOSES! Not only do they want one, but they've published online that they want one, and everyone will know. Although I suppose lots of people are called J, so maybe no one will guess who it is.

[baconmatador]

We know they are in the UK so that narrows it down.

[badasstronaut]

Good point. You realise there are two people in this room right now who it possibly could be?

[baconmatador]

Have you seen either of them wearing a towelling hat in the past 3 years?

[badasstronaut]

No.

[baconmatador]

But maybe that's because - even through the use of Yahoo Answers - they couldn't find a supplier.

[badasstronaut]

Yes, I assumed so.
