Would you look at their hats! If you want to have fun with your fedora, take a page out of their book!
Forgive me for not crediting the names of the artists shown above. If you know who painted what, please do share as you always do.
Gevalt! Egad! First thing that came to mind when I saw Isadore with his fedora and black and white gettup I was immediately taken back to my yeshiva days when walking around town, a bochur had to have his hat and jacket on or else! He told me they inspired his lewk….I hope bochurim are not carrying purses and I know no rosh yeshiva would allow such sandals sans socks, but this is one I had to share with ya’all.
Giving you both because I cant figure out which one to give ya… I like the first because you can see the collar better. I like the 2nd because the image is overall clearer.
This man is so cool. As usual, I bring you a man that has no idea just how cool he is. When you have it you just have it. While I’d love to know why he is wearing a railroad cap or a belt with a cow, I dont want to scare him off with questions, or make him miss his bus, I just want to capture it all and deliver to you. The roll of the collar, the fraying of the shirt collar! His cane, his glasses… Hope you enjoy his lewk as much as I do.
The shot I aways love, The 1st shot. Before he noticed me creepin up.
Theres something special about a hat thats pinches are a bit off centered. The Late Lubavitcher Rebbe O.B.M. Menachem Mendel Schneerson wore his fedora like so. Probably from taking it on and off by the crown. Eventually the pinches get off set. Not sure if thats what happened with this straw hat but I'd like to think so.
