And is there any significance to this hat Colin ? It strikes me as not especially practical for everyday wear !

Not really sure, I think I remember that type being described as a "hunter's hat" somewhere ?? Maybe just for parade or a sign of vocation ?

No need to say sorry. I just googled my way across the internet assuming that the info found there is correct.
