Really cool picture! Does anyone know the approximate location of where this was photographed?

I like the driver's straw hat. Mine is newer--a 1920s-30s one, three layers of fresh straw-smelling hat goodness. They are like the ultimate To Go box for the cranium, look absolutely smashing, and are a delightful mix of formal and relaxed.

But if you tilt it too far over, you might look like a reject from The Music Man! :lol:

I had to get a new boater hat. Everybody had such small heads back then! None of the old ones fit me. Either that or I have an abnormally large head. :lol:

Mine's getting a bit shabby inside, so I may have to get a new one as well.
