At around £50 a hat, the only way the local asbo-crowd are going to get
hold of them is by swiping them from places like Blacks, or perhaps
mugging you for it

Friend of mine reports that Blacks in Liverpool has been swarming with
security guards recently, to deter people running off with anything with
Berghaus written on it.

Do Blacks sell Tilleys? I know Outdoors used to before they were taken
over by Blacks.

Obviously Buffs inna-pirate-stylee with shades are the province of
Upstanding Folk, as nobody in Blacks minded while I strolled around
the place dressed so earlier today... ;-)

They cant let one type of person wear it inside and ask another type
to remove them can they?

Hence OAP's have to remove their hats etc for the same reason...No
discrimination see....

When someone does something as stupid as described, I just walk out and try

Your choice, but most premises have that rule if they have CCTV on
site, hats, caps, hoods etc prevent identification and if they can't
hide, then they are unlikely to commit an offence/crime anti social
act etc

What about wig wearers? It'd be unfair to be wiggist.

You should have explained that ladies, unlike gentlemen, are allowed to wear
hats indoors.
