Never heard of a couple of these, but took them on faith. If there's a reason for this particular group, it eludes me. rdunlap1125: I think you have the fake-out answer for #2. Just a guess.

Real stretch on some of these ... and some I've never heard of. Was this just a random sampling or are they somehow related?

no idea which one is wrong - is there a real alternative to the Johnny one?

[32] Yes there is.

hat is killing me

I don't want to show too much pomp because the circumstance doesn't warrant it, but ...
I think this puzzle would have benefited from a tighter thematic selection. I can't get too specific without getting too salty, but there are a ton of ways in which these things are linked together. If there is a link between the selections and I am missing it, I apologize. I just don't see it.

They are all part of a HUGE group, but I see nothing about these that makes them different than the other 100.

[41] It's not only a hat brand, but an aftershave.

[41] The maker has a surprisingly large capacity!

[42] I think they're all private? Maybe some kind of linking division, I really have no idea...

I barely got a bonus for this one, and I figured out the theme early. I had never heard of the third from the last.

[47] think hat maker. Generally makes large-capacity hats.

[47] Think of the most famous of these of the early US. It's boss, if not plain (that will not make sense to many unless you look it up.

Hope2002

These are from all over and aren't the only private, not by a long shot. Plus, if old enough, they were all single gender at one point.
