Lilly Dache' hat, April 1954

Take a look at the classic Lille Dache' hat. Folds of pink silk jersey form the cap-like hat. And matching gloves? Perfect.

Woman's Home Companion April, 1954

1931 Chevrolet Sport Coupe, with vintage hats to match!

The Literary Digest from January 24, 1931  had an ad for The Chevrolet Sport Coupe with rumble seat.
Look at all the action in this picture! The guy with the suitcase and the lady in the rumble seat make me wonder if they are coming or going.  Love the guy ringing the dinner bell--wearing the white jacket.
Price on the sport coupe with rumble seat--$575, Standard Five Window Coupe-- $545.

I have a couple of hats in The Vintage Hat Shop that would fit right in this scene.  And a couple more to be added to the shop soon.

1920s cloche, gold silk

vintage man's fedora/cowboy hat

Vintage 1950s aqua cocktail hat

I love the aqua/ turquoise color of the 1950s tilted  cocktail hat. But take a look at the purse. Is that needlework? Looks like the type of work that my Grandmother did---- and tried to teach me, I might add.
Very classic style from The Ladies Home Journal, February 1955.

Vintage 1955 Tilt Beret Hat.

A classic beret tilt  style of 1950s  as seen in The Ladies Home Journal, Feb. 1955. Neat and sophisticated !

Vintage 1960s bubble toque hat

The bubble toque or bubble hat, was popular in the 1960s. The vintage bubble toques were  made of felt or straw. Worn atop the head, they are either brimless or with a very narrow brim. They are generally oversized, thus the name "bubble toque". Many were outrageously bold!

The 60s straw brown/black/white bubble toque currently listed in The Vintage Hat Shop.

 

Ending summer the vintage way.

A perfect ending to a vintage summer--- a wide brimmed Kutz straw hat with a 1968 Good Housekeeping magazine, a sunny day at the beach and you are all set!

Take a look at the articles offered in 1968-
-Joyce Brothers, "Fighting the Fears that Riots Breed"

-Great Informal Outdoor Dinners

-Bob Hope, John Lindsay, Hugh Downs and Others, Describe "The Day I Was Proudest of My Wife"'

-Humphrey & McCarthy:Campaign Ordeals Faced By the Families

-What To Know About Beauty Parlors


I would say that this that would be a fascinating historical read.  Maybe a few smiles-especially when you see the young fashion classics and some of the advertisements!

If you would like this magazine, let me know. I will be sending it to one of my readers.
