    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Another interesting feature is that in both the print and the pin, the Johnny Walker man is holding a lorgnette. Usually, he's more often tipping his hat. In the print, it seems to be a one eyed glass lorgnette. While in the pin it's a double.

    Thanks Nathan. The pin is not easy to see, and definitely not easy to photo.

    You're too kind, Randall. I won't be there until I have a real Randall Renshaw Hat.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Thank you so much, Nathan. The pin is the Johnny Walker "striding man". It's significance is, I like Top Hats and Whisky :) I also have this circa 1930s print of a Tom Browne 1905-10 sports advert for Johnny Walker. Tom Browne created various scenarios of the Johnny Walker man in...

    Please send the link to the auction house, Stefan. It will be fun to follow the bidding.

    I'm sure it is possible, Mark, and I don't doubt it. I know the barcode was invented and used as early as the 40s and 50s, but I've always thought a hat with such a label was much more modern than the 70s or 80s. Again, I'm not necessarily questioning the date of the hat, but more my...

    I'm looking at that barcoded label and thinking, surely this century. Did Stetson hats have such labels back in the 70s/80s? They possibly did, and I need to be more educated on the subject. I'm perhaps too used to European hat labels sans barcodes. It's a great looking hat, Rick. I'd be...

    A truly wonderful poster, Stefan. I'm still kicking myself for not pulling the deal on a Mossant poster I could have had if only I'd been willing to travel to pick it up. It still would have been cheaper than that one though. Will it really go for that price? I'm thinking, how many real...

    Just won the bid for this Bowler on an online Swedish auction site. Thanks to Matt @Mean Eyed Matt for the heads up. I'm looking forward to it arriving to see just exactly what its origins are.

    I think you could well be right, Daniele. There do appear to be some anomalies.

    Absolutely wonderful find, Steve. The colour plus the ribbon and bow treatment are spectacular. I always love it too when the town and hat establishment are named on the sweatband and/or liner. Especially when the town and hatter are somewhat "new".
