A fancy, knitted Beanie hat with a “fleeceband lining” - available from this online, German, mailorder business - MOSHIKI. Available, by the look of it - in any colour you like, as long as you like “grey”, “purple” or “petrol”! The latter clearly referencing, or at least in support of, “The Flaming BAYKOMAN” site logo!!! For the record, they were still available last time I checked - September, 2023. |
