This is an unusual style of hat. Wide brim, low porkpie crown, back bow, slightly fuzzy finish.

Custom Made Water Proof
Custom made supposedly, but not marked as to by whom.
Wide Binding Dobbs
This one has super wide binding, and probably had a wide ribbon. The ribbon is long gone, unfortunately. The fur felt is a light sandy brown.
Champ “Gay Prince” Clone
This 1940s whipstitch trimmed fedora is very close to the heavily advertised Dobbs Gay Prince model. It’s in an uncommon shade of green.
Thin Ribbon Marathon
This is the same make and style as was worn by Jeff Bridges in Seabiscuit.
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.
Marathon
This marathon has a classic color scheme- gray and champagne. The ribbon is fancy, but somehow makes it more casual.
Wide Brim Dobbs
This 1940s Dobbs is the quintessential fedora. Wide brim. Tall crown. Bound brim. Contrasting ribbon.
Leather Western Shirt
White leather with hair-on cowhide accent panels. Pearl snaps, shirt cut. Made in California by Los Angeles Sportogs
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.
