First! Nice vid. There isn’t much vintage mens info out there. Thanks for posting.
The newsboy never caught on as casual wear for the English gent, that was the flat cap, or Ivy, or driving cap. I know Thomas Shelby wore it, even with suits, but he was making a political statement in parliament, regarding his origins
A fifty dollar fedora won’t look good for very long.
it is not a pork pie with that tear drop crown. You don’t know that much about hats, do you?? No shame in that, it’s just odd to make this video when you know so little about the subject.
If you want a pork pie hat, get a real one with a telescoping crown and get it in felt, not cut and sewn plaid. That has no class, at all. You have sort of cartoonish ideas about these hats.
You know, the bowler was originally a working man’s hat and got its name from the two Bowler brothers who made the first ones.
That guy looks familiar…..
Good information,but why not mention homburg?i always love homburg,have 3 of them,and top hats too,if you have tails or frock.nice information though
