Jocko Robinson wears one of the hand knitted red hats with a lucky penney tucked into the fold that are being produced and sold by Knotty Ash of Isle of Wight, England. The red hats are exact replicas of the hat used by William Walker, the famous diver who saved one of England's 11th century Coronation Cathedrals from collapsing.
