Itchy Afghani hats
Sahib | 04.11.2001 01:56 | Cambridge
You've seen them every day on TV, perhaps more than Jamie Oliver. Yes, it's the itchy Afghani hat. They are on sale in Cambridge - Nomads (King's Parade) and at the market on a Sunday - in several different sizes and colours, including black, dark brown, light brown and for those Afghanis with the spirit of John Lydon, blue and red. They are simple pieces of rough wool with a flat top and a rolled up 'rim'. My one is black (to match with my goatee beard) and although it itches my forehead and bald patch, it's probably the warmest thing I've ever worn. On a more political note, it makes you look like an Afghani and in doing so we can hope to become one with the struggle of the Afghanis. An Afghani hat shows solidarity with our oppressed friends, who have and continue to be bombed into absolute poverty by foreign and foreign-backed armies. So, buy an Afghani hat and ditch your Jamie Oliver-inspired consumerism.
