The Humble Farmer introduced us to Shlomit Auciello, who is working on a book about Old Hippies, and seeks project funding on Kickstarter.
I also bought this hat
from Capestries. It's possibly more square on top than it appears, I think she calls it a short stovepipe shape. I've bought two of her hats before, the stretch velvet berets. I was pretty young when I bought the first one; in fact it was that time I did night security, because I distinctly remember we were entitled to sleep in the cots in a big tent. Most people slept in all their clothes, but I also kept my new beret on to keep my head warm. I lost it years later, canoodling with Eor in an allyway. The woman from Capestries tends toward that stretch velvet or bright colors in busy patterns, but she probably found an old tweed coat on the dump and decided to repurpose it.
(Taking that hat pic at least made me wash the mirror in the bathroom, and since I had a rag and windex in my hand, the windshield of my car, which has been dangerously dirty for driving at night.)
ETA: possibly a better pic of the hat - http://pics.livejournal.com/derien/pic/000d3e13

B - I snatched that hat up and couldn't put it down, but we'll see if it stays a top happy-maker for me as it IS actual wool and makes my head itch a little.

Playing fast and loose with the language.
Obviously too fast and too loose.
;D
OH, I have a hat I really, really like that is wool, can only wear it in the absolute coldest portions (of which we have vanishingly few) of the winter. Itchy is the same problem here.
Alas.

I should have been more clear about what, exactly, I was confused about. Because you divided your comment into two parts I wondered if those two parts were intended to parallel the first and second paragraphs of my entry, in which case the 'Oh, hi there' would have been referring back to the book about old hippies. My impression of your writing is not of a person almost my parents age, but one can never tell.

Well, had I been that clever, you'd be right, but I wasn't. *embarrassed chuckle*
I just missed the hippie era, was only born in the 60's not already of an age to appreciate any of the culture going on at the time.
It is true, one can never tell, but I'm not quite THAT old... yet. *snirk*
However, I think the book about the old hippies is a fun idea, nevertheless.
