Truer words were never spoken...uhh, typed.

By the way, I could have lived with "Hole in the wall"; I've been called worse.

Didn't want the risk of being kicked out by the bartender!:(

Alvin Clarence Thomas (in the photo here below,,,,) was an American gambler, golfer and hustler better known as Titanic Thompson. He was a major witness at the 1929 Arnold Rothstein murder trial in New York City.

I don't disagree with you. I've seen the uncropped version of this photo, and in my opinion the crown is creased too tall for Mr. Thomas. As for the ribbon, it's one thing I'm not a fan of on a lot of 1920s hats--I like a reasonably sized wide ribbon, but on most hats of that era they're just too wide/tall for my tastes. For that reason, I much prefer hats from the 1930s, 40s, and 50s.
