Coincidentally, Man O’Leisure had been in touch to see if I wanted to try out some of the new range of summer hats from Sunday Afternoons.  Finn tried out a ‘kids’ play hat’ and Luke took the men’s ‘lookout hat’ for a spin.

Review: Buff Headwear

I must be the last person in the world (well, among outdoor lovers anyway) to finally start appreciating the wondrous tube of fabric that is the Buff. If you’ve never heard of it before, the multi functional headwear has a dazzling array of uses, from a scarf, to a sweatband, a hat or, my personal favourite at the moment, a rather snazzy hairband.
