What's the Deal With the Hat?

One of the clearest signs of the end of the "good old day," in a classic menswear sense, is the increasingly rarely seen hat. In the not-so-distant past, a man would never leave the house without a hat on. This tradition has mostly died due to various reasons such as evolving fashion and climate adjustments rendering the hat unnecessary. But if you knew Mark W. Foreman, you were sure to see him wearing his hat no matter the season. A lover of the Golden Age of Hollywood, Mark loved the look of the classic fedora in this era made popular by Humphrey Bogart, Cary Grant, and Ol' Blue Eyes himself, Frank Sinatra.

 

The fedora hat was a staple of Mark's wardrobe, a gray one in winter and a white in the summer. A Foundation in his honor would not be complete without referencing this iconic fashion piece Mark was rarely seen without. Our logo and the title of this newsletter is just another way for Mark to give us all a little tip of the hat.
