A C and K hat is definitely on my wish list. Great info here—thanks!

The C& K book, 1924.

Kudos to the true hat wearers in the business (or they just didn't know the "rules" when posing for portraits).

I'm posting this illustration here because it mentions C & K hats. This is from the American Hatter, I think in the early 1920's.

ACtually, it's from the C&K Book, published in 1924. I have an original in my collection.
