I was looking for a deerstalker hat but couldn't find one....

Is there still the Irish shop in McWhirter's, Fortitude Valley? It always had deerstalkers on display.

Brilliant there are a few fellas wear these at our "Edwardian" / "Vintagers" shooting days. I flavour the flat cap myself though.

Still looking for affordable breeks and vest to suit the Qld climate ! (Quite a challenge).

I like the beige army ( giggle ) hats, I wear that and that's me.
