In another thread, the Bowery Boys were mentioned, etc.
I just found out something interesting regarding the hat worn by Leo Gorcey.
Here is a neat thing to do you your favorite fedora:
THE HAT
Many readers have emailed asking me what ever happened to my father's famous pinned up fedora. Well, the answer is...The Bowery Boy had 'The Hat' bronzed! Currently, 'The Hat' (pictured at right) resides with my sister at Mt. Dora, Florida. As an aside, while my father was living on Brandy Lee Ranch in Northern California, the Smithsonian Institute made a request to put 'The Hat' in their famous museum. In true Bowery Boy fashion, Slip told the Smithsonian to take a flying leap!
