He appeared to be using it as a substitute for the standard-issue LA fedora. Spotted a guy wearing a straw boater last Saturday in northern Malibu, at a gas station on PCH.

On my blog about it: http://rayfrenshamworld.blogspot.com/2008/10/buying-my-straw-boater.html I never realised that all the UK's boaters come from one company, Olney and Luton, whoever the retailer is. You learn something new every day. And it's good to see my pal Tadd Casner (a fellow enthusiast) posting up. Let's see more men in boaters (and bow ties)!

I love nothing more than settling down with a cup of tea whilst pouring over the images of The Library of Congress. I would love to see this prediction come true but unfortunately I see the return of the boater as consisting of antinque boaters gracing bookshelves. A delightful selection of images.

I wouldn't dare venture out in a boater in broad daylight in town or city (yet)! I would wear one, but only in a private garden party or punting in Oxon-Cantab.
