Jaco , FAmily Man, beanies

[bassist15]

Ive noticed alot that some bassists like FAmily Man Barrett and Jaco wear really awesome looking beanies. I was wondering if anyone else dug these as much as me. Also has anyone been able to find anything like these in stores?

This is a beanie, for those of you who don't know:

I guess Jaco could pull it off...

[bassist15]

No , definetly not what I was talking about . What I meant was like a sock hat , a knitted hat , crocheted hat. Look at these pages if you wanna see what I mean ;

Actually, I find that wearing these really make me play better. Although it's an extra battery to worry about, the fan on top is a nice thing to have during those hot summer gigs. And as an extra crowd-pleaser, I found that if I jump, I float a little bit on the way back down.

I wear my hipassmofo hat.

It's not a beanie.


The hat you're looking for is a tam.

Rastas use them to hold their dreads.

[bassist15]

No not a dread holder , look at the links!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Similiar material, just not as big as the tams that rastas wear.

You may be looking for a kufi.

That's what I wear, but mine is beige and not cordorroy.
