What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

Wow, what a great history Alan. Would a Jewish person from Galicia have been Sephardic?

Nevermind, I answered my own question. I was thinking you were referring to Spanish Galicia, not the Polish Galicia.

This old Davis that seems to regularly find its way to the top of my head and these "vintage" Lucchese boots

I like to get this hat out in the air a couple of times each year. It's a survivor from time completely different from our world today. When this hat was sold around 1905 it was a three dollar alternative to the five dollar status quo. It might have been purchased by my great grandfather, a Galician Jew who had just landed in America seeking a better life for his young family. It might have been worn at a rally for a Republican president who saw the race for the White House as his bully pulpit. It might have made it out to see the Chicago Cubs, who would rack up the best winning percentage in baseball (a record that still stands today) in 1906 and go on to win their first World Series in 1907. If only hats could talk...

Sadly, the great thread started and researched by #joshbru has many broken links. Perhaps it can be fixed.

WOW! This is AWESOME!

Great hat and boots. If I had your hats I'd throw away mine. The boots, well......

It's the first time outing for this hat. Will see how it likes bicycling.

I do like the color on this one and may have to look for a few others similar.

Yes... Polish/Ukrainian. That photo of the kids was a little later, c.1910. My grandmother (middle) was born in 1905, shortly after their boat landed.

Exactly. Your hat and boot collections are second to none!

Hah!
I sleepily took a wrong turn and ended up half lost.
Then again, could be worse.
