Back in the day the choice of headgear was a serious business as it defined you as a carper. Baseball caps were worn by Matchmen so were automatic Noddy (see A) gear and no self respecting carper would wear them. The early CarpWorld magazines had various references to this - “ some baseball cap wearing Noddy set up next to me and spooked the fish” etc etc.
Somewhere along the line they became mainstream, only to replaced by ‘Beanie' style hats for ‘Old Skool' ( see I) anglers as part of their ‘uniform'. By this time sufficient years had passed to let Old School (see H) to adopt the baseball cap without undue stigma of yesteryear as they are very practical, unless worn backwards then just refer to ****s (see D,E,F &G)

Always been a bit of a flat cap wearer even in me mid teens. Wanted a bit of a tweed number worn by the likes of Bill Quinlan and a few other anglers I looked up to at the time. But being young with no Money had to make do with a waxed cotton barbour one I was given by a friend of me old man's ( wish I still had it ) normally paired up with an ex british army DPM smock ala Jack Hilton pair of old jeans. And what ever pair of old Adidas trainers I deemed battered enough to wear bankside. Looked like I new what I was doing anyway..
