You've heard of The Rainbow Bridge? Well, there's a similar place where hat lovers go to await their loved ones. It looks like this shop.

Another image I found c.1920. Poultry Science school at OAC produced a a hen named Lady MacDuff laid a record-breaking 303 eggs in one year. The hat in the photo caught my eye, crease clip on a center dent with a lived in look on the brim. I need crease clips to emulate the 1915-1925 look on a couple of hats right now.

Apparently that's proper attire for formal day weddings and fishing.

Thanks for the photo! Butch (second from right) was my role model when I was a kid.

It's a good possibility that the hat the salesman is holding belongs to the gentleman trying on the new hat.
