A boss, really.
I had a really intense fascination with the 70's as a kid - teen. The cars, fashion, music, etc, which eventually led to me watching a lot of blaxploitation films in those years, and this hat is from one that especially stuck out to me (right next to Superfly).
If you're not familiar w/ the genre, you should read up on it. Lots if interesting cinematic history. ^_^
