Men's hats (Dobb's Fifth Avenue)

The hat looks exactly like this:



This one is for sale on etsy for $98.

I'm not sure how close etsy's prices are to real market value though....

No idea about Dobbs, but that's a narrow-brimmed fedora - very retro-hip in a Mad-Men sort of way. I picture a gangster zombie in more of a broad-brimmed fedora or a straw boater.

I'll keep my eyes peeled for a more acceptable zombie gangster hat! I'm clueless about hats. I think I'm just going to buy a cheap one from the Halloween superstore and hang on to this one.

I had not considered a straw boater. I thought they were more picnic in the park.

I was dancing in the aisles of Salvation Army when I found a cheap violin case to use for treat toting.

He's going to be the best zombie gangster ever!

U know that his violin case was the repository
of his .45 caliber Thompson Submachinegun, right boomer ?

that's more of a hipster hat than a gangster hat

wide-brimmed is the way to go

sell that hat for $100 to a happy hipster

"Dis ain't gonna' be no picnic!"

I love the violin case for candy!

Sozlet's going to be relatively boring this year I think, we have a plan B idea all ready but a plan A hasn't really presented itself so that's probably what she's doing. A Day of the Dead Catrina -- cool face makeup, braids on top of her head, flower crown, etc. She'll pair that with a floral gauzy shirt, her flamenco skirt, and flamenco shoes. Only had to buy some of the face makeup, and the shirt (cheap at Forever 21) we have the rest of it. Probably will do a thrift store sweep for additional elements. (Better shirt, skirt overlay, sash, whatever presents itself.)

Yes. Why do you think I wanted a violin case for a gangster!?

He wanted to carry one of his nerf guns/airsoft guns but I didn't think walking around in the dark wearing a mask and carrying anything that resembled a gun would be a smart idea for a pre-teen boy even on Halloween.

My neighborhood is full of happy hispters! This is happy hipster paradise! There's a very good vintage clothing store near my house. I thought I might take it in there to see if they want to buy it.

I was going to cut it open and shred it up so that brains were coming out of it so it wouldn't much have resembled a fedora at all by the time it was finished.

I just hate to tear up something well made...

Well I learned something new today!

It might be easier to find one of those than a fedora!

That doesn't sound boring at all!

Mo's been a zombie for the last three years -- cosmonaut, clown, gangster. Gangster has been the most challenging but it's coming together pretty nice.

that is too cool a hat to chop up.

and at Mo's age he runs the risk of looking like a zombie boy-band member...

Any hat he wears, it must be worn at a rakish angle. Even zombies know that.
