Musician's hats

[Short Balding Guy]

I am channeling some Light'n Hopkins this morning on the acoustic guitar. The man epitomized "band in a box" with his guitar playing. He wore interesting hats.

Feet moving, Eric -

One of my favorites, Eric!

It looks like Mr. MacManus sports some off-the-shelf hats.

Modern Stratoliner

Hard to tell for sure, but it looks like a Milan Stratoliner

It's a nice hat, but I really want that coat! Anyone know what it is? You can see more of it in the video link.

Great hat you just bought

 

[BobHufford]

Thanks ingineer.

It looks a bit fancier than a hunting jacket. I have a vintage Carter that looks a lot like the Woolrich in the link. It sees some use in the deer woods in December. Even has matching pants. (Sorry for the thread derailment)

Bob--thanks for posting the video. I liked what he said when asked about his hats.

"I always liked 'em. They keep your brains in."

 

[Frunobulax]

I fanally watched the video, Bob. Thanks from me, too. Wish I could get my Milan Strat re-flanged like that!

I hope those weren't loaded, we could have lost Hank sooner.

The guy on the right, with the undisciplined trigger finger, looks like he would have shot the other officer.

+1. That officer would have been doing push-ups for weeks if he did that in my department.

It was probably staged for the picture.

You can still get them, but the shipping from Remulak will kill you.

I'm sure it was staged, but that's still a big no-no. Unless you're preparing to fire, keep that finger in a safe place!

I don't think so ... 1954 maybe
