It was a great, traditional/business clothing store (though no hats that I recall) - they were in the Westshore Mall when I lived & shopped there in the '80s, but I don't recall if they had any other stores.

EDIT: Apparently they still had a downtown store (not sure I went there) and were also in University Square & Tampa Bay Center malls as well (which sounds right). http://www.tampabay.com/news/obitua...onic-family-clothing-store-dies-at-88/2189581


Thanks for the pics and info TPD. I attended USF in Tampa for 3 years in the late 70's. Don't think I ever shopped in the Wolf brothers though.

These are photos of my Great Uncle, Charlie Howard, likely at the time was working for the Swan Land & Cattle Co. near Chugwater, Wyoming, about 1913-16.

Now that’s a hat!

Here is another photo of Charlie Howard, likely in the same time period.

He had good taste in hats!

Charlie Howard and his son, in front of his Charlie's father's hotel, in Corbin, KY, early 1920s [edit - based on the license plate format on the car in the background, assuming it is a KY plate, that dates the photo as 1925].


He worked as a City Policeman about this time in his hometown of Corbin and was killed in the line of duty there in June of 1933.

My great Uncle, U.S. Army SGT Joseph Howard (and friend?), a Field Artillery veteran of the Meuse-Argonne campaign, awaiting his transport ship home from France, 1919 – he knew how to wear a campaign hat!

Nice pictures and interesting to see the cattleman's crease on a fedora and homburg. I may emulate that look. Thanks for posting.
