Followup to Conversation with M

I showed the picture below to M today while we were hanging out at a bookstore. Although I like both the hat and the scarf, I was secretly hoping that M would give me another bit on post-apocalyptic grannies. But no. This hat meets with his approval. There's just no knowing, is there?
