Hats and the man who wears them in style and form
Garvan J. Cavanagh cautions against wives buying hats for husbands noting men are fussier about brim width and crown height. His family built a hat empire including the Hat Corp of America and a Park Avenue store serving stars like Bing Crosby and Clark Gable. He notes the return of formal hats with homburgs and boats.
