That was really enjoyable. I wish I would have known about that place when I was last in Portland. Maybe you can give us a first-hand report sometime.

Very interesting read. She really knows her hats. Nice to see Penman Hat Co. get a nod in there with that photograph, GOod looking hat too, John.

Interesting to say the least.
Funny thing: a volendam hat should come from the town of Volendam here in the Netherlands. Let's see if I can find out what it looks like.
Regards, Geert.
EDIT: it's what the guy in this picture is wearing:
Can you show her this picture John?

I thought the volendam hat was a woman's hat, as pictured in this link for Dutch costumes.

You are right, but the hat the guy is wearing is also called Volendam or Volendammer. As far as I can see one is what in Dutch is called a kap (a piece of traditional ladies headwear made of lace) and the other would be called hoed (Dutch for hat 
). I'm no expert on this type of clothing and headgear, but that is what browsing Dutch sites on the subject has suggested to me.
Oh, and Michaelson, I assume the one on the right is female, since cross-dressing was illegal when this picture was taken
Too bad though that a museum like that is so far away from me. I would have loved to visit it.
