Ok,
I'm about sorted guys. Thanks so much for your info, advice and help. I really appreciate it. I think I'm going to go with the beanie for now, as the baseball cap I do have is bright blue and quite a sought after piece of clothing due to where it's from. I don't wish to ruin it.
My grey hoodie and brown faux leather jacket, and some jeans (not fussed if they get ruined, they're old anyway).
If the bug does bite (it sort of already has through watching vids and reading up some) I'm sure I will be putting more into gear.
Many, many thanks for opting in here to help a fellow newbie. I really appreciate the welcome!
