Sou wester or Souwester,it's a waterproof Hat.
Elegant they might not be,but the long back of the traditional souwester (or sou wester) hat keeps the rain or rough seas from running down the back of your neck and the big brim keeps water out of your eyes.They also double as a bailer or emergency bucket.Material for the souwester is a heavy Yellow PVC on canvas backing (similar to the traditional oilskins),and adults are made as one size to fit all,but we can do childs or large sizes.The souwesters are hand made locally.The strap is fixed,non adjustable and worn hanging down loose at the front because these are designed for working in the hostile enviroment of a fishing trawler where a tight strap could prove dangerous if it caught in machinery.The traditional colour is yellow but we can also do red,blue or black.
.All same price £22 including post to UK.
For anyone out in bad weather,trawlermen,vegetable pickers,farm workers and Paddington Bear look alikes.
