Thought I'd open this up to get more recent and good photos of our best and favorite headgear.
Various fedoras of various vintage and crown shape. The bowler on the mannequin head being the most modern from Hats In The Belfry. Left back and middle (facing right) are a chocolate and then a silver Dobbs 1950s era. The two back middle and right middle (facing left) are my originals, an unknown maker Austrian from the 1920s, and the brown an early Stetson that's seen some miles with me, had multiple DIY sweatbands sewn in. Front right is a steel blue Mallory from the 1950s. Front middle and dead center are Churchill, Ltd. from the late 1940s. The remaining at left center is a velveteen Knox Twenty from the early 1960s. Most of them acquired from junk stores and garage sales.
Various apple, driver and ivy caps. Most are modern, non-union caps. Notable exceptions are the front far left and right being vintage 1920s era (and well worn by me), middle front from Hats In The Belfry, just above, one brown wool driver and a button apple from the 1970s, farther back are all simple, modern, universal-sized "golf caps" of either wool or cotton.
The hat on the mannequin head is a costume Imperial Empire hat from the Star Wars movie, which is pretty fun to wear to delight geeks and confuse the masses.
