A Tilley hat makes one look suspicious? Yet a baseball cap advertising a line of luxury sedans is okay....is this capitalism at work again? Forgive my jaded response; I'm reading about modern China at the moment and am feeling quite bitter towards the manufacturers of luxury anything. Did you know that there are 200 million migrant workers living in shantytowns on the outskirts of Shanghai? I didn't, and I'm pissed off.
I guess, considering what Romans wore to war, that there must have been expert metalworkers about so who's to say that there weren't metal tyres about on wagons? I don't remembering seeing any in Asterix and Obelix, but they were in Gaul and maybe iron tyres hadn't reached the frontier. :)
