@tim I take it that's the Premium Section as it seems to be a bit above the standard fare?

TBF to the misery guts in the lead article. It worked for Grumpy Cat.

I think it's fair to say that if National want to turf the government out they will need to beat Labour, the Greens and the Maori party this time

A guy who proposes that kind of policy with a straight face thinks nothing of wearing a cowboy hat as a legitimate everyday item of dress

@canefan but isn't it cultural appropriation?

Without using Google, who knows what the most common form of headwear was during the 'wild west'?

I'm going to guess at a bowler.

Lots of old photos showing cowboys (and Indians) wearing bowlers.

Much depends upon which period during the "wild west" you are referring to.
There was a (brief) spell when feathers were very much the headwear of the day.

OK, I googled.

Quora says bowler, followed by top typically. DOesn't comment on others or numbers ... so I'll blindly accept it.

What kind of hat did people actually wear in the wild west?

Answer (1 of 4): There were a great number of different styles of hats worn, depending on the wearer’s sense of fashion, the amount of money he had to spend on hats, and what he needed the hat for (as practical protection from the sun or rain, or as a status symbol). Probably the single most pop...

You can't be Maori until you're 57? That's crazy
