A personal rain hat worn by legendary entertainer Frank Sinatra. The brimmed hat is constructed of tan cotton and was Sinatra’s primary headgear worn when traveling in harsh weather later in his career. The item was acquired from Sinatra’s personal costumer and longtime friend, Michael Castellano. Castellano began working with the entertainer in 1976 after replacing Sinatra’s previous personal aide, Eddie Fitzsimmons. Castellano quickly became Sinatra’s “right-hand man” and performed numerous duties for Sinatra while maintaining his stage and personal wardrobe collection. Castellano received this hat as a personal gift from Sinatra prior to leaving his service in 1981. He has retained the item in his possession since that time. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity signed by Michael Castellano. Categories: Frank Sinatra
