They're more of a necessary evil during the chilly seasons, and, often, an inadvertant fashion statement (the <i>wrong</i> statement!).<br /><br />I can therefore understand the child's trepidation at this obviously faux Father Christmas (or so the bowler would indicate).<br /><br />Of course, back in the Roaring 20's, you were not a "finished" gentleman without your properly-chosen hat.<br /><br />So prevent moron children and dress right! Right on, Knox!Garynoreply@blogger.com
