Cate in NZ Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 You all look fab, I love those hats . You could always start a trend in NZ Cate? Now there's a thought Lesley . But we've had temps in the low to mid 30s recently (although it's a bit chilly this evening....autumn must be slowly edging in ) and I can't face the idea of wearing a hat, no matter how stylish or quirky . Nor do I speak Norwegian, and from the sounds of it the poor admin folk there need time to recover from dodgy translation site Norwegian . That said I do have a good friend in Denmark who would do any ordering for me I'm sure if I asked her nicely . I'll think about it and could order one in June when it gets cold over here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms Marple Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Sorry for the delay but I have mine too- when is the reunion wearing the hats????

Lesley Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 I did track your parcel I managed to wear mine a week ago Sunday! - we went for a tramp in the hills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola H Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I keep reading this thread with interest as i love the look of the hats but am not sure what i would look like in one........ I was in Knutsford on Sunday and went past my favourite wool shop and low and behold there in the window were some hats that looked very similar, they were made by an English designer and being sold in the shop, I couldn't see a price as the shop was closed but they were very nice and made in the same bright colours.

The Dogmother Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I wore mine while doing a course on Sunday - everyone loved it.. except for Jude's OH, who (predictably) took the mick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patricia W Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 It gets quite chilly in Melbourne in winter - and they have ski resorts up in the mountains - with snow! ES and family sent pictures last winter which would match anything we have! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Yes, I'm not allowed to accompany Rosie into town if I have my shopping trolley, and woe betide if I ask her to stand by it while I pop into the bank Remind me about the hat when we speak in the morning - we're decorating and it's put away somewhere!

Egluntyne Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 I wore my red JL hat into town yesterday. I usually just wear it for going out to the chickens in this weather. It was soooooo cold that no-one was giving whacky headgear a second glance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 I've been wearing my orange fleece balaclava under mine as the hat on its own has too many gaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted December 19, 2010 Author Share Posted December 19, 2010 Lauren refused to walk with me in town - everyone was commenting on my hat and Lauren was saying "please don't tell her that" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the only site i can find metion of them, but the link at the start of the thread no longer works, can anybody please help? thanks Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 If you drill the link down, you get to a contact page here I'd be tempted to email them and ask if they are still available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foulbird Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I bought two when we were first all going mad over them. One in the car for emergencies and one in the ouse for all other occasions - including indoors as it's freezing and my heating isn't working you won't regret buying one for your wife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Nor me... wonderful, isn't it? The dogs don't seem to care though. Actually, in the really cold weather last winter, i wore it under another hat to give extra warmth around the earhole department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I love the way the Omlet forum can solve problems far and wide through the power of a search engine . Good luck finding the hat, Dave, come back and tell us whether you managed to get one (and whether you'll go out in public with your wife wearing it ).

Lesley Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 I just get from my lot! I hope they're still selling them - their English wasn't very good when I was ordering but perhaps they have an English speaker now........I did use a translation site in the end but having since used it to translate something into Hungarian and had the recipient falling about laughing I would be wary Google translate does a very literal translation so all the words are there but not necessarily in the correct order.
