Questo è il berretto Chitrali delle zone montuose del Pakistan. L’ho indossato per la prima volta ieri e tutti mi guardavano perché vengo da Marte. Davvero questo non è accettabile per gli svizzeri?

Swiss people love to stare. They stare if you’re wearing a yellow coat. They stare if your shoes are too old. They stare if you have coloured hair. They stare if you’re gay and holding hands with your gf/bf. They will stare if you’re wearing a traditional hat, yes. 

In Zürich? I think I saw you. Yeah perhaps I was taking look because it’s clearly not a common hat and I knew from where it comes from. So I was curious… but it’s tidally ok to wear it.

I prefer my Indiana Jones poet fedora though

They might have wondered what it’s for. It seems to not give you shadow over the eyes, it doesn’t give you warm ears, it doesn’t warm your head like a beanie. So they needed maybe a little time to discern that it’s just a fashion thing without any functionality.
