Rooster Feathers

[Bugbear]

One of the reasons I started liking and wearing this general style of hat when I was a little kid was because of that cartoon movie "The Rescuers." The lead character... the mouse, wore a tartan hat of this style and a scarf if I remember correctly.

Bernard and Miss Bianca! I went and looked it up and "The Rescuers" came out in 1977, so I would have been four or five maybe.. Bernard was the mouse that wore the cap and scarf, and he even flew a dragonfly. They were cute. I think that tartan on Bernard's cap might have been Wallace... or at least it was red yellow and black.


My first one was a medium green, and I must have been very young when I got it. I've had dozens of them over the years, some of them leather. The way they are put together reminds me of the way a baseball is put together.
