Well you know me I don't care if hats are in or out of fashion, the fact I live in a one horse town where hat wearing maybe banned for some moronic reason.... I love hats. I do see though why wearing a Pirate hat to go the local supermarket may get a girl the odd sideways glance, but a cowboy hat for a beach bbq surely the cap fits.
Love the nostalgic image. Reminds me of my grandad, tribly wearer and dapper gentleman.
Who shops for these kind of hats anymore and who wears them? The display is immaculate, the styles look sharp, but I don't know a lot of men who put something on their head other than a baseball cap. Weird hours, too. They open way before anybody wants to go shopping and close before people can do after work or evening errands. I wonder how they keep going.
A perfectly apt name for such a lovely collection of hats. The photo is wonderful. Did you change it to sepia in post processing or are these the natural colors?

Spiffy, timeless hats. And look at those work hours...like here; start early, leave early, though that is changing now.
belle collection de chapeau, j'aime beaucoup le 3eme, on dirait un panama
Certainly not in fashion anymore.
A timeless shot for a hatless generation. Fingers crossed this shot helps further the renewed interest in hats. I love them.
I am still kickin' my tush over not buying a borsolino (sp?) I saw at J Crew, seriously ...
LOVE this shot, Virg!
bon ton was a chain, right?
KM,
I have no idea about that. Have you run across the name in NYC??
Daryl,
I have no idea about a borsolino but you'd look fab in it I know!
Olivier,
Oui, trés bon!
Bibi,
THis is downtown and they pretty much have no traffic after 4, hence the hours.
Brattcat and B2,
Sad but true.
Hats are showing up a lot more than they used to...but not the traditional styles...
Personally, I love these old traditional styles..and I'd love to see hats make a grand comeback!!!
Just last night I was on the internet looking for a felt cowboy style hat, like the Hubman's, but for me!!!

Oh, how I love this. I'll take them all.

Gorgeous shot, Virginia. "Ton" is a French word for fashion or style, is it not? So, "bon ton" = good style.
Yes Petrea, bon ton = good style, good manners.

I love the framing of this image. Great job!
