    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Well that is a blast from the past. If you are standing on the corner of 78th St. and 37th Ave., yep that is my old stomping ground. That's my first alma mater across the street. And I lived my first ten years in the Berkeley apartment building around the corner on 77th. There were no pull down...

    Wearing this one today. Unmarked save for the tiny horned moon of the Navajo Arts and Crafts Guild, with craftsmanship and modern design that might be Scandinavian mid-century. One of my favorite pieces.

    I believe this flea market find is a hikeshi-banten or fireman’s jacket. It is quite substantial to offer protection for the wearer.

    That's a really nice tourist era band. Maybe work with a local silversmith for some ideas to adapt the band closure so you can wear it. The chain could be original or added after the fact. I don't see a worry about removing it in the process of alteration.

    Another European velour, more recent than the previously posted Borsalino (probably later 1950s). The felt quality and shark gill ribbon bow on this hat are impressive. The evergreen color is more accurate in the second photo.
