    Dressing Vintage so as not to Garner Attention

    The Official Panama Hat of the Kentucky Derby

    The Kentucky Derby has done something new this year by naming Panador Hats the official Panama hats of this year's Derby. I'm partial to the Panama hat and think it's pretty sweet that the world’s most prominent hat event has decided to recognize genuine Panama hats. :eusa_clap

    NYT piece: Hat-wearing minority gets no respect!

    Yes! I'm actually surprised to hear that people associate fedoras with mobsters. Throw in a trench coat & cigarette, and I could see it. Interesting thoughts from everyone. I enjoyed this thread!
