Ministry of Silly Hats - 5 The Cloth Cap


Edu Boxer

The cloth cap used to be almost universal, 
equally at home on the heads of working men trudging to the pit 
and tweeded aristocrats killing defenceless animals on the moors. 

Nowadays, it is also picked up and plugged periodically by the fashion trade. 
Suave it may be, chic too perhaps, if worn at a suitable angle, 
but it's hardly the garment of choice for a beefcake shoot 
as Edu Boxer proves in this this moment of indignity,

Pretentious? - moi?

I was always told, never put your hands on your hips when throwing a tantrum, it looks camp. Perhaps Edu is protesting his maltreatment? 
Maybe he wants to keep the hat on for the whole shoot?

Thankfully the hat is jettisoned and the result is this glorious image 
which you probably already know. 
A sublime example of clothes maketh man sexy.


Edu Misbehaving

I'll let Edu present his full chunky credentials. 
I understand why he's wearing boots and nothing else 
but why he's standing on the bed in them is anyone's guess. 
His mum won't thank him for it!

Silly hat?! I wouldn't have noticed it if Edu was wearing Abe Lincoln's hat!
