I sort of understand the white, wide-brimmed hat - a superior form of sun protection, although on the few occasions I wore one, it used to fall off a lot. What I never understood was that other 70s fashion statement - the white terry towelling hat. It looked silly and was so small it provided less sun protection than a cap. Why was it so popular?
The photo of MV is intriguing. Presumably the ground is in India yet not a single soul in the background.
Is that the tricolour of The Yarras, Gideon? Teal, wattle & navy blue?
It's actually a Yorkshire sweater, Dr D.
I am disabused! Thank you.

Cheap and easily washable.
