Last Friday:
1930's Elongated Topper with veil and fringe trim by Chez Mimi of San Francisco in downtown New York City in front of Sarge's Diner. Look at who I picked up to accent my hat! More info here.

Damn, girl! You been busy! AND beautiful!

Thank you Mr. Lucky! Yes, I went to CT, Mass and NY in one week and saw three handsome Fedora Lounge gentlemen! Can it get any better than that?

Whew am I tired! I will be also reporting on the Manhattan Vintage Clothing show, that I went to Friday after the lunch at Sarge's, and will show my purchases.

Time to go on a big diet!

I'm wearing my tan Open Road, cattleman's bash, just the way it came from the factory. And that was a long time ago, because it's a "Stetson Twenty-Five".

Worn with olive slacks, blue denim casual dress shirt, tan corduroy sports coat. Man, do I fit the fall season today!!

Great photo guys. That is a beautiful suit VB.:eusa_clap :eusa_clap

This hat looks great on you!!

Thanks so much! The suit is interesting - definately a sailor influence, with an over the shoulder capelet-thing. There are two bluckle cinches - one at each waist, the suit is lined in satin, and the material is a nubby silk. There are multiple pockets and covered buttons. I'm assuming this is a war-time suit. There is a department store label on the inside. If anyone is interested, I'll scan it in. I should also take another picture of that hat. It is very interesting and I've never seen another like it.

The other hat is interesting as well. I purchased it at the Manhattan Vintage Clothing Expo last Friday. On inspecting it closely, I believe that it's a construction of three different hats pieced together. On the other hand, it could simply be a hat that was never used. But I really don't think so. I think the dealer's wife got creative and did a great job on taking parts of hats that were good and assembling them: liner, base of felt, overlay of felt, and overlay of newer ribbon with a beaded oversize buckle embellishment. I really like it, and the dealer came down on the price also. Very very nice people to deal with. I was happy to purchase from such nice people. And thinking it over, all the dealers I met were incredibly nice throughout the afternoon.
