I thought you might like the hat bein a Texan. It's an Australian bush hat but it looks the same as a hat from round your part of the world to me. I love it. It's cool in summer, warm in winter and has a chin strap for those windy days :)

howdy again sir steemonkey! Well that is very interesting and of course your entire country is so steeped in history and historic battles and so forth probably everywhere you go, much longer ago too than over here. Oh yes the hat is perfect! Extremely handsome headgear. is it leather I assume? It looks expensive.

Howdy sir, yes it's leather. They're not too expensive. About $40 - $50 online. Indeed there is a lot of history here. I will make more videos soon. Keep an eye out ;)

howdy today sir steemonkey! oh that's very cool, I love history and you have an endless source of it there, very good idea, just keep wearing that hat! lol.
