    At the Society of California Pioneers they have some great hats from the late-19th century on display. These hats made in San Francisco are fairly self-explanatory. Click on the box labels for more details about the makers! One was made by Hermann & Co., while the other was done by Grunwaldt & Co., who claim to be "practical hatters," which begs the question, what would an impractical hat be? A fedora, perhaps? Maybe one that doesn't fit the head? I'm not sure. It sure is too bad that top hats are no longer considered "practical" today.

    From my recent trip to the Society of California Pioneers...
