I found this one in an antique shop in Fells Point, Baltimore, Maryland. With a name like “Harmony Tone”, it’s perfect for musicians. Stingy brim, low, tapered crown. A very 1960s hat.

Bee Hat
Bee’s answer to the Stetson Open Road. Thin ribbon, wind string, bound brim. Center dent. Fancy pleated lining. This hat’s probably from the 1950s. It claims to be “custom made” but just how “custom” it really was- who knows?

Leather Western Shirt
White leather with hair-on cowhide accent panels. Pearl snaps, shirt cut. Made in California by Los Angeles Sportogs
Peak Lapel Tweed
This 1930s or early 1940s tweed jacket is an unusual blue color, and has fantastic green swirled buttons. Peak lapels are always a good decision.
Style Icon- Frank Lloyd Wright
Not just one of the most influential architects of the 20th century, but a mighty snappy dresser. Soft collar, soft tweed three piece peak lapel suit, mother of pearl button cufflinks. I’m sure his trademark low porkpie crowned western hat was just off camera. Comfortable and sharp as a tack.
