Alain Delon certainly knew how to wear a hat. He died today aged 88.

His passing was reported on the BBC. He never recovered from the stroke that he had a year ago. So sad.


The hat worn by actor Harrison Ford in the second instalment of the Indiana Jones film franchise has sold for nearly half a million pounds at auction.
The brown felt fedora, specifically made for the Temple of Doom film, fetched $630,000 (£487,000) in Los Angeles on Thursday.
Jones is seen with the hat early on in the movie where he and his companions jump from a crashing plane in an inflatable raft.

I like that a hat (not a baseball cap) made the display of the World Series trophy at Angel's Stadium

 

[Who?]

A baseball cap is not a hat.

A baseball cap is not a hat.

Your comment, immediately following my post, seems to have an implication that I can't seem to grasp

Perhaps you are inclined to blurt that out at the mere mention of a baseball cap

It is simply a general statement of my opinion of baseball caps.

There was no ”implication”.

 

[Frunobulax]

A baseball cap is not a hat.

Then what is it?

 

[steur]

"Major Mite"... found this postcard in among the boxes of one of my Grandfathers papers

One of my Grandfathers... John William Pleasant (1884-1953) about 1920 somewhere around St Louis. Electrical Engineer that pre depression made a good living between real jobs converting buildings in downtown St Louis from gas light to electric lights. Owned his own electrical company in St Louis. Multiple patents related to motor winding processes. Ill call him a "Traveling Engineer"...Ive tracked him from Alabama, to Ohio, to Detroit, to California, to Missouri, back to Ohio, Back to California, back to Alabama, and then to Tennessee

Real Jobs Included Vultee Aircraft in California (Later Consolidated, and the Lockheed) as well as Wright Aeronautical in Ohio, Westinghouse, and was a lead electrical engineer winding electromagnets and motors in Oak Ridge Tenn at the k-25 Unranium Gasseous Diffusion Plant during ww2 for the Manhattan Project. With all that technical experience, it was interesting that during the depression, he was plant manager at a handful of Cement plants for National Cement and Portland ( guess when you need a job, you do what gives you a paycheck.

I have his pocket watch chain and masonic watch fob that are in this pic but unfortunately no hat. Interesting to see him in the pre depression days with suits, overcoats gloves and jewelry.. Quite Dapper. Id die to know what hats he wore. Dad said during the 40's he bought his hats at Sears in either Birmingham, Al and Knoxville, Tn. In his later years it was short sleeve shirts and chino pants. Family story is about how between the depression and his first wife leaving him, he lost everything in the early 30s and had to start over

Hes at least famous in MY mind

Then what is it?

Exactly what it says--a cap. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
