It seems to have been a fad to take a used hat that would have started out as a fedora or something similar and turn it into a sort of jester's cap with the brim cut into points and turned up.

It hadn't occurred to me, but of course you are right. I can't visualize the bits cut out of the hat either - that wasn't a familiar idea at all, have you ever seen something like that?Clothes In Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680610242823846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-57062423964905586072014-07-31T05:45:29.003+01:002014-07-31T05:45:29.003+01:00Moira; Your photo piqued my curiosity.

It does seem the writer had another hat in mind to me for the sawtooth hat you have and I saw online is a Stetson and they are a Western hat made in Texas. It is clearly a cowboy hat. I would be surprised if they have ever made cowboy hats on 5th Avenue in New York City.Bill Selneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268006369157307593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-51481249008392687902014-07-30T17:30:04.285+01:002014-07-30T17:30:04.285+01:00Thanks for yet another great tipoff Martin.Thanks for yet another great tipoff Martin.Clothes In Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680610242823846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-49753062516469623992014-07-30T15:29:44.593+01:002014-07-30T15:29:44.593+01:00It's always delightful when keen readers share...It's always delightful when keen readers share one's enjoyment of a book, and I'm really pleased you like this one!Martin Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16082485795280777670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-24845890921366288972014-07-30T15:14:21.174+01:002014-07-30T15:14:21.174+01:00Well we won't be twisting your RED RIGHT HAND,...Well we won't be twisting your RED RIGHT HAND, Margot, nor will we be CUTTING IT OFF.

And with Martin Edwards introducing the novel, really, it's not just my arms, but my left ankle too being twisted to read this. From all of you I've gotten the feeling that this is going to be a very absorbing kind of trip to the 'dark side,' so to speak.
