Nice pics. Looks like a pinch front, perhaps a Stetson. The trench is reportedly an Aquascutum, may be lore, because that's what he and
Clark Gable wore in their private lives. Heading out to buy a black winter
fedora today. Probably opt for a Bailey. Gotta respectfully disagree
with you MK. London Fog makes an OK product, but some years ago,
they moved their operations out of the states, had a plant here in MO.
Now they're offshore and the quality has decreased considerably. One or
two factories cranks out trenches under a variety of brand names including
Bill Blass. Aquasucutum, has been making trenches in the same plant since
about the turn of the century. Pricey, but worth it. Once in a while
you can pick one up on Ebay, but you gotta watch for the ones made
in Canada. Bears the same name, but ain't quite the genuine article.
You have a great page, glad I ran across it. Wish I'd held on to my
Dad's lids when he passed away, he had some classics. Best regards.
