Hats

With the extreme cold in the New York area I've been wearing my Borsalino fedora that I bought a few years ago at the Primo Hat Shop on Kingston Ave in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. I went back in my photo archives and found a bunch of photos that I took while in the shop (no surprise there) that hadn't been 'developed'.

The fedora is a distinct manner of dress for Chabad chasidim. After bar mitzvah it's a rite of passage for boys to shop with their fathers for a hat.
