Peaked Cap: for people who don't dare to wear a beret

Road Works and Alpino's
On 23 and 24 July this year I published a large selection of photo's of boineros wearing the traditional Dutch alpinopet (the Dutch name for a small diameter beret).
These pictures were found on website dedicated to vintage trucks and showed how common it was during the 1940s - 1970s to wear a beret in the Netherlands.
These pictures are of similar origin, found on the website of a large roading contractor in the Netherlands.
Not just the alpino's are of interest, but also the beautiful vintage (and massive) machinery.
Daan Kolthoff is a writer, living between the hills of Wellington, New Zealand and, when not writing, meditating or walking the hills, he is usually researching, reading about or ordering berets from around the world.
