Beautiful bash, Bob!

Klee Bros. was a department store in Chicago (but you knew that). Quite clearly, whomever made their store branded hats did a beautiful job!

Here's a pic of their building.

And a little info about the company for anyone else who might be interested:

"Built in 1931, the five-story art deco Klee building takes its name from Klee Brothers, a men's clothier that trumpeted its retail amenities almost as much as the garments it had for sale. "The equipment of our stores, their lighting, their ventilation, their generously apportioned salesrooms, their homelike atmosphere--all these we consider second only to the high class of merchandise we handle," read an early Klee advertising pamphlet. The flatiron-style building boasted elevators with wrought-iron dials, wide stairwells, terrazzo floors, and marble wainscoting--luxurious for the working-class neighborhood.

With office suites above the store attracting dentists and other professionals, the building prospered into the 1960s, when Klee Brothers sold out to the Rothschild's clothing chain."

I have a very nice 1950s overcoat from Klee Bros. I see now I should be looking for some of their hats.

Heading out for some Friday evening fellowship under the pre-1920 vented Dunlap derby.

Happy weekend to all![emoji2]

Contacted Mulder & he suggested 'deadman' hat or possibly an equestrian top hat....

Those deadmans are the closest I've seen to it!

You are the man, Lean!

Thanks.

I'm a bit fuzzy on these pictures but a few glasses of wine will do that to you...

Great looking Scarlet Bob. I haven't seen images of your birds that I can remember. An impressive hat also.

Something like that, anyway.
