Hemingway’s Hat and the Maine Lobsterman, Uniquely Different

Lobstermen are generally not considered to be fashion trendsetters but nonetheless these old timers are sporting a “five dollar” hat that the J. Peterman catalog referred to as Hemingway’s Cap. Remember the J. Peterman catalog? It’s unique, kind of like our Maine lobstermen, with its interesting stories behind the clothing and accessories contained in its pages. The products are captured in timeless artist renderings rather than photographs. “We traveled the world for over 30 years in search of the unique, the unusual, and hopefully, a few things that help make our lives a bit less ordinary.” That’s why people travel to our little harbor, to experience something a little less ordinary. Let’s make sure we keep it that way. Please support working waterfront, wherever you may be, so that we can all have a little glimpse into something uniquely different.
