Talk:Mariner's cap

Comment
'''This is a rather poor article. The hat in question is actually a Greek Fisherman's cap. To term the article, "John Lennon" cap is foolish. That would be akin to the Teashades article being the "John Lennon Glasses" article.

A simple Google image search shows that this is hardly a defining hat for him.'''

Tone
This article seems a bit informal, and many of the sentences make vary little - if any - sense. I'll try and work on this, but it could do with some contribution from editors more familiar with this hat - I don't even know what it looks like. Den dodge  Talk Contribs 21:51, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

If you don't know what it looks like, have a look at the Bob Dylan link. LymeRegis (talk) 17:46, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

No picture or even description? I'd add one, but I don't actually know what this is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.106.18.12 (talk) 21:48, 28 December 2009 (UTC)


 * I've added an image from the Bob Dylan article showing the hat and worked a bit on the wording and tone. Nuujinn (talk) 00:22, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Move to "Greek Fisherman's Hat"
That's what most people call it. The John Lennon title can be a redirect here. Chrisrus (talk) 06:47, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

George R.R. Martin
No mention of his wearing one? He's probably the most notable living person that wears a Greek fisherman's cap, and it is one of the most notable things about his "look." 2001:558:6026:B:4A5:FECA:713B:BE42 (talk) 20:00, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

Misidentification
The hat John Lennon was known for is called a Breton cap or Liverpool cap. It's similar to a Greek cap but lacks an embroidered visor and usually doesn't include a cord. I propose to create Breton cap and move all John Lennon related material to that page. Ibadibam (talk) 21:04, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Alternatively, all those hat types could reside at a page called Fisherman cap or Fisherman's cap. Ibadibam (talk) 21:10, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

Worker's cap
This source doesn't appear to be reliable enough for Wikipedia (no list of references) but might nevertheless be a useful guide to expanding this article. Ibadibam (talk) 00:22, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
