The Search Continues...Afghanistan..Another World..
As mentioned in my blogpost about the strange textilefind in the lining of the Pakol I did send a mail to the hospital in Vejle and I got this answer: Dear Jan ter Heide Yes, that is a funny story. The reason that the textile ended up in Afganistan must be, that we from time to time give away our worn out textile to care organisations( Humanitærforeningen, Brædstrup , Denmark ). But we didn´t know that the textile went as long as Afganistan. But we are very glad to see that the fabric is getting used and not just burned or put a side as garbage.

How did he get the fabric? Did he buy it on a market, or dit he get it, or found it? Does he only make hats or also garments? Is it a familybusiness and how long is it ...
