Pictures of Other People In Hats

I rather enjoyed the "Random Pics of Other People In Fedoras" thread. So here is a resurrection.

If you're from Chicago, you HAVE to love these guys. Even the Pope loves them!

Image
Not a guy, perhaps a touch risque but that is a great hat!

Image
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy! One of my favorite neo-swing bands.

Great movie with great hats.

Not a fan of his music but I like his style, Ne-Yo

Great pictures, guys. I especially love those last two. They really convey a sense of history and maybe even hardship.

Woody Harrelson looks a little dazed.

Image
Ving Rhames looks sharp even if his fedoras seem less than top quality.

Image
I do LOVE women in mens' hats.

Image
This shot is the main reason I bought my first porkpie hat 10 years ago. Before that, I was a strictly a fedora guy.

Image
Idlewild is often overlooked by the retro community because of its hip-hop soundtrack but the film does have its moments.

The Metropolitan Opera baritone Giuseppe De Luca, out and about in New York circa 1920. Love that high crown!
