Jwalls, since you live in Vegas, you could wear a Gambler hat to this place and feel right at home:

RIP Clarence Clemons. Passed Saturday 6/18/11 at 7:00PM after suffering a stroke 6 days ago. The E Street Band will suffer greatly without him. I've seen him in several different hats but this one looks pretty nice. Not the best picture but the only one I could find quickly.

Isn't that statement somewhat of a paradox? Great hat on him, though.

I love this photo, even though he isn't wearing his namessake pork pie hat. Whatever he is wearing, however (a stingy sort of OR?), is awesome.

Leon Redbone & hats!

I am inspired to play songs ala Leon Redbone. As a more novice acoustic blues guitar player I adore the songs on his recordings and seeing him in concert is a total experience. Much more than the music, shtick and personal mystery he advances - the show kicks. I have incorporated a couple of his arrangements of loved blues/show tunes for my modest playing out with my guitar partner.

On a couple of special occasions I have had the pleasure of sitting up close and personal to his performances and have enjoyed them. If you get the opportunity - go see this treasure of Americana. As I am just beginning my hat appreciation journey, I recall the cool hats he has sported. Not worn - sported. I tip my hat in his general direction this evening and will call up his "On The Track" CD for a bit of nostalgic 30-40's show tunes and blues.

Jiving, swinging and feeling a bit blue, Eric -

Looks like a Plantation style hat to me...

 

[bowlerman]

It seems I've been hovering around the plantation style lately... But I still dream of it in felt!

 

[Fletch]

Yes you can wear a grey homburg with your tuxedo...

...if you are B.A. Rolfe, leader of the Lucky Strike Orchestra and a big cheese in the heyday of radio.

Looks as tho he has the brim slightly steamed down in front, which was a collegiate style for a hot minute around that time.

 

[bowlerman]

I can dig the dip.
