I don't think this quote from Beckett applies to Che but Che never seemed to be without a hat although not a fedora like this one. I found this sign in the window of Lilliput Hats which is the studio/shop of craftperson Karen Gingras, a traditional milliner who makes all her hats on site. Hopefully not a dying art!

I love it! I don't often expect a Beckett quote in a store-front window.
Cool -- a real life still existing milliners.
I think we don't have a milliner in our city any more. I remember one across from our local high school when I attended it.
Looks like something Kathryn Humphreys would wear when she does the sport news on City TV.
haha - Andy could be right!
What a cool place!
Nice hats always come in beautiful boxes. :)
i love that sign.

We have a custom hat shop here in KC. I have always meant to stop in but have yet to do it.
This looks like it would be an interesting shop. I always loved going to the millinery shop with my mother when I was a young girl.
I wonder if the quote will change over time? Maybe next time you pass it will say "If you want to get ahead get a hat!"

What a great shop! I can't remember when I last saw a millinery shop. And I like hats. When growing up, no self-respecting gentleman would go anywhere without his hat.
A handmade hat? Now, THAT would be an indulgence.
Love it. Not only quoting Beckett, but still creating hand made hats. Wonderful.
I love hats. Look, a sale! And that fedora is wonderful.
His hat can't think without (c)he
Great window display.
It's nice to hear that there are still milliners around!
LOL, great advertising for this shop! I just hope they sell Che-style berets too!
Cool sign! Che's photo poster never change...
Looks like 'Lurking Guy' buys his hats from Lilliput Hats!
I would love to see her practice her art. I'm really not a hat person but I do admire them on other people.
It seems like a perfect quote for a hat shop!
The quote may not have been meant for Che, but it does fit! Nice find. :)
Really cool! :-)
