While many of my friends in the 60s were buying U.N.C.L.E. gear, I wanted a Steed Bowler!

It sucks when you die and all they talk about is your hat.

It's odd to think that there were once portrayals of "upper class" people who were admirable. Education, breeding, good taste -- viewers liked what they saw.

Today, that sort of thing is reduced to Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson talkin' all ghetto, throwing parties with bimbos around a swimming pool, and engaging in some shady business deal which will necessitate massive car explosions and pointless gunplay.

The upper class isn't what it used to be.

A Clockwork Orange used the bowler for different effect.

Cheers to Patrick. Liked his younger work better, especially the original Avengers.

I occasionally wear my derby. Lots of fun watching the double-takes!

You’d be surprised how many folks come up to me and tell me they love my hat and ask where they can get one. Kind of strange actually...

Loved The Avengers!
