Interesting photo RBH. You don't see many US farmers wearing coats and ties even back then. Are they Aussies by chance?

From the NY Times.


TRENDSETTERS In 1936, New York City detectives escorting Charles (Lucky) Luciano,
with his hand to his hat, favored topcoats and fedoras.

Great find, Rusty. Looks like a Hollywood movie, but it's the real deal which makes it all the better.

This one from the Library of Congress. Taken in 1941 Puerto Rico.

Notice the cool shirt the guy in the fedora has on.

Cheers for the pic Ed! The pic has a story. The story line changes frequently as I study it. I like it.

Caps galore. From the City of Toronto archives...dated 1916 with a question mark.

Looks like Marc Chevalier in the front right of the picture.

Size 50 3/8ths perhaps? Bit big for me.

Use it as an igloo, perhaps? I just love seeing these old photos.

There are some serious dents in that homburg in the first pic, too.

Recruiting, 1916. Lots of boaters and some caps. I wouldn't say no to that car! The dapper chap in the boater leaning against the car was the mayor of Toronto at the time.

Hats in Vintage Street Scenes.

I'm also a member of the Station Wagon Forums, and over there, we have a thread called 'Wagons in Vintage Street Scenes.' I've always really liked it, and I've always really liked seeing old photos of crowds of people where it's a sea of hats, usually Fedoras, Panamas, Boaters, Homburgs, and Derbies (in the older ones.)

I hope there isn't already a thread like this, but I thought it'd be a great place to post pictures such as this.
