Took me a while, but it makes a change from my Yorkshire cap. I just copied the design from the Harlequin cap Douglas Jardine wore when he was England captain down under in 1932/33. His daughter lives along 'The Hillfoots' ( near Dollar) where she is an Scottish Episcopal Church Minister.

Post by: Anthony Darby on August 05, 2009, 10:27:52 PM: Yup, just copied this pic of the original harlequin cricket cap worn by Douglas Jardine on the MCC tour of Australia 1932/33, which seems to be in a museum in Australia! ::) My copy is rather bright! 8)
