It a traditional formal uniform just like the Brit's with the bear hats. Only used for parades and that sort of thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Guard_(Spain) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the explanation, but I imagine that at one time it served a particular purpose with the back brim at 90 degrees. I'm curious what that purpose was.

tous Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Rabbi wears a hat like that, in fact, an exact Spanish Civil Guard Cap he acquired when he was thinking about buying Spain. He rocks it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silentpoet Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 113 or so years ago this was the town square. To the right of this picture was the courthouse, but I think the current one dates to 1908 or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
