A cap is to be preferred to a hat because it fits closer

A cap is to be preferred to a hat because it fits closer, is less in the way when riding through cover, protects the head better from a bough or a fall, and will wear out two or three hats. It should be ventilated by a good hole at the top.

Top-boots are very pretty wear for men of the right height and right sort of leg when they fit perfectly that is difficult on fat calves and are cleaned to perfection, which is also difficult unless you have a more than ordinarily clever groom.
