I wonder why smoking jackets all seemed to have that "handed down from a New Orleans Madam" vibe to them?

A holdover from the late 19th century. Velvet was thought to capture the smoke smell and keep it from traveling throughout the house. Or on your good shirt and jacket. So that Victorian style of grand opulence was in vogue.

That was quite expensive.
They are still pricey.
Yeah at $10, that's a special occasion gift. Like a first Father's Day.
Or the day the kids leave
Oh, believe me. I've started putting some money away for the commissioned pipes when that day arrives.Or the day the kids leave

In panels 2 and 3, we see that the Judge's panama has the classic ridge splitting the crown into 2 halves -- the mark in those days of a "real" panama hat.
Yes, it's an Optimo crown. Also, a reminder of a time when roadside zoos were a thing.

There was an old roadside zoo we used to explore in Austin,Tx on N Lamar called the Coxville. As younger kids we’d do it during the day as teenagers we’d go at night. It was very spooky to be in that old zoo that closed 20-30yrs prior. The wind would blow, a cage door would creak, and I swear the lions were loose in the grass behind us.
@seabee1999 has first hand knowledge of a roadside zoo specializing in tigers that used to run near him...
Ha ha! When I drove past Wynnewood to see where the Tiger King place was at, the virus had shut things down pretty much and the guy above was already in jail. The new “owners” had just taken over and the Netflix series was a hit. Fast forward a few months (almost a year) and last month sometime the Fed’s came in and shut down the tiger park and removed all the animals. A few weeks ago, the new “owners” were found in Oklahoma City drunk and arrested for DUIs. That’s what I know currently of the famed Tiger King Tiger Park and the folks associated with it.
