    Why vintage?

    For me, I think my parents' influence played a large part in why I like things from the past more than most modern rubbish. Dad was born in 1913, Mom in 1915, so they lived through (and then some) what we like to refer to as The Golden Age and experienced it first-hand. As such, they had a...

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    I noticed one thing wrong with it almost immediately--it's two sizes too small for my head. ;)

    “WTF’ Hats,” that are hard to believe...

    They would probably consider it an abomination, a "scar" on an otherwise attractive and Iconic logo. It should be black for a proper "Croc Dundee" hat. ;)

    Indy hat post em up

    Yeah, I clearly look nothing like Harrison Ford, so even an "Indy" fedora on my head just looks like a fedora. Besides, I learned early on that my head above the sweatband is too tall or misshapen and pushes out a Center Dent from the inside the moment I put the hat on, so a Teardrop/Diamond/C...

    Indy hat post em up

    I'd have to agree that the "Careful Workshop" hat with it's larger crown suits you more, but I don't think the "AdVintage" hat looks bad at all, and if you had only posted that hat I wouldn't have thought twice about it. Nice choices!

    Funeral arrangements

    I never really thought or cared about what would happen to my body after I die; scoop out the viable organs, give 'em to whoever needs them, and dump my dead carcass wherever you can. Whenever anyone asked, I'd always jokingly say, "Oh, that'll be someone else's problem," because I don't follow...

    You know you are getting old when:

    I saw The Stones here in Los Angeles during the "Steel Wheels" tour in 1989. My best friend for life called at the last moment and asked if I wanted to go. He said he had a free ticket if I wanted it, the only catch was that he needed someone he could trust to help him keep an eye on his...

    What Cap Are You Wearing Today?

    What a great casual look! I hope I find a cap like that in my size someday.

    "Yes, I'll take 'American Politicians' for $1,000, Alex."

    WOW I like that hat! Casual with a hint of American West. Nicely done, good Sir!

    “WTF’ Hats,” that are hard to believe...

    I hear they have medication for that now. ;)

    “WTF’ Hats,” that are hard to believe...

    Ah, of course, Borsalino. Maker of fine hats for souvenir shops and truck stops all over the world. :rolleyes:

    “WTF’ Hats,” that are hard to believe...

    At the very least it seems a waste of good wool/fur felt.

    Plant, no. Leaf, yes. Smoke 'em if ya' got 'em!

    Stetson Pinnacle 7 1/2

    Probably, but we may never know because the seller hasn't been back here in the last four years.

    The Talisman Hat

    Probably by a Nick Fouquet admirer. :rolleyes:

    Vintage Photos of Kids in Hats

    Considering the bow is on the wrong side of the crown of that hat, and the coat buttons are on the wrong side as well, I'd guess the photographer accidentally or intentionally "flopped' the negative before he made that print. That, or it's actually a little girl. Still a great photo!

    The Bowler or Derby Hat

    I've most often seen that style referred to as a "Coachman" hat, because the coach drivers in Europe wore them.
