How about some farmer's hats.

Awesome pics Red! My avatar is from my '58 Ford tractor owner's manual cover. Note the hat.

Arriving at Denver's Stapleton Airport in August of 1964. The mop-tops were on their first American tour. Red Rocks was the sixth stop. A 32-day visit and their longest concert swing.

From the "Traces of Texas" FB page:

"Galveston in 1915 . . . before the devastating hurricane of August 16th, which still ranks (adjusted for inflation) as the fourth costliest storm in U.S. history."

Apparently the dress code was suits or bathing suits - no middle ground.

My dad at one or two years old playing with his dad's hat. So... 1947 or 1948.

Edit:Well darn it... I didn't find this on the web. Off topic. Sorry.

I just found it on the web (in this thread) so I think we're OK. There is an ancestor hat pic thread though:

Found some interesting stuff last time I was at work. This guy is Porter Appleman, the photo is dated 1909. He is the grandfather of a very famous historian, William Appleman Williams. We have his manuscript collection. It appears that the early family was into hunting dogs in a major way, there is a whole box of turn of the century retrievers and spaniels. This is the only hat photo I could find. It appears to have some weathering to it, and has an interesting look. The dog's name is "Old Mac".

I found this image from 1914 interesting. Although hard to make out, this guy's hat has about the same bash and dimensions that my San Francisco Hatters fedora. Kind of a blast from the past, what goes around comes around.
