Cold Head in Shanghai? – Come on Get a Hat

If you’ve got a cold head then you need a hat – obvious. But please none of those slightly too small cheap trilby hats that are so beloved of wanna-be hipsters these days everywhere from Shoreditch to Melbourne I’ve noted and definitely no baseball caps…anywhere, anytime. No chavvy baseball caps I’m sure at the La Union Hat Company on the Nanking Road, just proper men’s headwear and charming ladies wear. This ad of course actually from the summer months of 1940 when Panama’s and Borsalino’s were the thing.

Still some things never change – those fake Manila Panama’s were on the market back then just as muppets today buy fake New York Yankees caps to look retarded.
