Well I picked up a Hat Life while I was on Vacation Last week.
So tonight I am scanning in the pages of this issue to share with you.
I will post scans of the issue in this thread and when I am finished I will be making a PDF that you will
be able to download and enjoy reading.
So here we go the first 7 pages of Hat Life January 1936

What one finds as I have looked thru the pages is the different hat styles you will see that have not survived because the hats just did not make it to ebay or flea market. Also the amount of hat companies and surpliers that there where. Much more to learn from Hat Life abot the culture of hats that has been lost to us today.

Those are really cool. Thanks for sharing!

 

[Sam Craig]

GREAT STUFF

Thanks for post this.

$24 for Panamas ... for A DOZEN Panamas?

And did you catch those crazy overcoats in the Knox ad? Man, times have changed ... for the worse, sadly.

Thanks again,

Sam
