I'm honestly not sure how you'd even begin to pull off this particular look, but regardless: this USN hat really is a thing of beauty. The colour, the fabric, the stitching – it's got to be worth hanging off of a hook at the very least. Follow the link below for larger imagery and more details.

The "Special" section on Corona's website is one I visit frequently. The behind the scenes look at the brands work is great, but the vintage pieces from the designers collection are also worth paying close attention to. They might not be be for sale, but they are a great source of inspiration.

Of all the things hardest to find in the vintage market, well-fitting headwear must surely rank among the most difficult. At least for me, because whenever I come across a nice Daisy Mae, or interesting military cap of some sort, the size usually ends up being minute, and the hat unwearable. Which is why the hat stand I don't have is bare, while the iPhoto folder I do is heaving. This particular "find" comes from the always excellent A Platform Journal. Which you should probably bookmark, if for some reason you haven't already.

Just In Modern basically specializes in everything I like when it comes to Mid-Century American furniture design. The shop recently re-located to a larger showroom in Sacramento, California, and as you can see from just this image, its packed with great pieces. There is a great selection of 50s Herman Miller originals, and the prices are quite fair as well. If there's something specific you're after, I'd definitely give their blog a browse, or drop into the showroom if you're in the area.

Last Sunday saw the bi-annual South London edition of Mid-Century Modern at Dulwich College. If you're not familiar with the event the best way I could describe it is it's a kind of Pop Up Flea for Mid-Century modern furniture and accessories. The show brings together the very best of the UK's Mid-Century furniture dealers and puts them under one roof for the day giving the buying public the biggest selection of 50s, 60s and 70s Scandinavian and Scandinavian influenced interior furnishings anywhere in the country.
