is wearing vintage uncomfortable for you ?
feel the burn Wearing vintage can be like a workout. You suffer the pinch of an ill fitted shoe or the stab of an overly large lapel or the squeeze of a well made inseam.... The good thing is that along with age comes not only extra girth but better sense as well....... Buy it to collect...- nulty

Cary Grant and Hats
I think Cary Grant was one of those guys who just din't look comfortable in a fedora. Not that he looked bad, just not comfortable. Grants body language worked in 2 ways. You notice the grace of his movements from the shoulders down. Then you notice the intensity and style of his facial... -

CBS Radio Mystery Theater
I really liked the atmosphere on those programs. The writing was consistent, the effects were good and E.G. Marshall was just a great Emcee. I used to go to sleep listening to those episodes.. I remember the opening music was somewhat ominous though.... -

"Deadwood" hats
Gerald Mcraney I'm most curious about the style/period of the hat he wears as Hearst..it seems very transitional.....can't post a pic ..sorry... I loved Deadwood but it lost me somewhat after season 1 when they killed off Bill Hickok...so much potential was lost......and they tried to cacth... -
My first vintage (Lots of pics)
I like the way the ribbon seems to roll downward adding the the crowns taper... Great hat , looks almost dead stock.. I know others here would know better but the hat appears more mid 1950's to me. It could depend on when Dobbs stopped using the cost of the hat as the "model" i.e Dobbs 20 = hat... -

A hat observation...
I'm with Art..My goal is to be like one of the guys I used to see in college that wore old beat up hats and sat out in front of the bank on main street ogling all the coeds.....( my mum always said I'd amount to something).... I agree too with the OP premise...I used to get carried aways with... -

Judging by the sizes of vintage hats, a 24" head is a fairly new evolutionary trait.

Cultural Significance of the fedora?
Personally, I think we make too much of the meaning behind hat wearing. I come from a long line of fedora wearers and except for me and a few abstainers, all of the kinder from those earlier generations have spawned baseball hat wearers. Putting something on ones head to protect it from... -

Fawcett’s Dark City Fedora - the story.
Raymond Chandler should have put a Fawcett special on old Marlowe....could have saved him a time or two from all those saps Phil took..... Not that Art was around in Marlowe's day though.....;) I wanted to say that was a great story...hat's off to ya...!
