sorry didnt mean to sound so snippy
i quite like the look of em honest
i still have a hat that was issued to me in germany and was at the time described by the union as "an insult to human dignity". i keep it for sentimental reasons. whatever else they said about it it was the warmest hat i ever had
personally, being warm is the first priority innit?
