Cowboy Hat- Made in England
Big ’30s cowboy hat, with a leather buckled band no less. Does it get more American?
But this one was made in England and shipped over. Odd.
Dimensions are huge, but the curl on the brim is also enormous, so it makes the whole thing look much smaller when it’s not in context on someone’s head.
Aetna Deluxe turquoise cowboy hat
This long hair Aetna cowboy hat dates from the early 1930s or so. It has a high crown, wide, kettle curled brim and great graphics. But what makes it really unusual is the color. How about that wild turquoise color?!
Mode Edge comparison
Three 7X Clear beaver Stetsons, three cavanagh edges.
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.

The original owner of the mackinaw seen in this post.
Jet Setting
1930s Lee fedora, Lee (different company than the hat), 91-J Jelt denim Jacket, buckle-back wide legged jeans, Chambray chinstrap shirt, American Optical sunglasses
1930s Cap Construction Part 2
Continued from Part 1
This was a more expensive cap than the last one. It’s made of a nice heavy tweed, with a pastel purple lining. It was made by the Eastern Cap Company. Whereas the last one was an eight panel cap, this is a flat cap.
The inside of the cap with lining. The lining is fairly standard. Round top.
And again without the lining. As you can see- seams are left unfinished. This pattern cap has 9 main components: top, band, brim, brim covering (2 pieces), lining (4 pieces) and all the hardware. Even though this is a more expensive and dressier cap, the brim, as with the last one, is made of heavy cardboard. This one uses a slightly more flexible stock.
The top panel unfolded.
1920s and 1930s tie fabrics
Such great textures and patterns to vintage ties, not to mention they tie a great knot.
