Really liked all the jaunty caps from the early 1900's - they made me realize I had originally planned to do a totally different post but forgot all about it. I have pictures of both of my grandfathers from around 1915 - 1920 wearing similar hats!

There is even a photo of him in grade school, which would have been around 1910 and here's wearing a cap and holding a baseball glove. Sadly I never really knew the man. However, I do have an old hat he wore that is probably from the 1940s. I wear it on hikes or my daily walk. I like knowing I'm wearing his hat even if it's now an antique.
