I put a comparison photo in the OP. Did you not see it or the resemblance?
Be more honest by not putting in a black and white photo of Castro. The black and white image hides that the color is exactly the same (which is a dead giveaway that it is a Castro hat).
Sorry oh fashion guru, extraordinaire, but this was a pic dating in the 60's and color pics were not the norm as they are now.
Moreover, if you can not see the difference, then I suggest you make an apt with the closest Optometrist, toute suite, and get your eyes checked.
I am not going to waste my time finding pics of me in Fatigues during the 60's which show the caps we wore identical to Fidel's and moreover, I could care less if Sarah was wearing a Babushka, she would still look good in it.
You are obviously a female as no male would have given this a second thought, thus do I detect a sense of the green eyed monster, ala Maureen Dowd and Parker, rearing its ugly head?
Just asking!
NO, other than that it covers her head and has a bill.
I googled "castro hat" images. Palin's hat is NOT among the first 100 images that came up.
Those images have a large variety of styles, too. I wish I had the time to post about 50 or so of them.
In fact, it seems as if ANY hat that doesn't look exactly like a baseball cap is now called a castro hat.
