A rainy day in NY – a good reason to buy a nice hat at Goorin Bros.
I found this shop at Bleecker Street and when I entered I felt like going back in time. Run as a family business since 1895 I was overwhelmed by all these hats in different styles and shapes.
My “Fletcher” is a model called Gatsby – the name became associated with this hat due to the high popularity of the novel “The Great Gatsby” which plays in NY in the Roaring Twenties. The hat is fabricated from authentic British wool tweed and was indeed my rescuer in the NY Rain.
