Of all the things hardest to find in the vintage market, well-fitting headwear must surely rank among the most difficult. At least for me, because whenever I come across a nice Daisy Mae, or interesting military cap of some sort, the size usually ends up being minute, and the hat unwearable. Which is why the hat stand I don't have is bare, while the iPhoto folder I do is heaving. This particular "find" comes from the always excellent A Platform Journal. Which you should probably bookmark, if for some reason you haven't already.
