All the open crown Borsalino hats a person can handle...http://www.bencrafthats.com/product.php?pid=249&subcname=Borsalino
The Alessandria in 7 colors...
Selentino (Tonack) carries a fur felt top hat for the US market. I believe there is only one manufacturer left here in the USA who makes a non collapsible satin top hat. They are located on Long Island NY. -the old Kreiger Top Hat company. We stock them on special orders .
I think the hat shown is made from rabbit felt. You have to realize that the person describing the hat for the catalog has no idea what they are talking about. They are professional writers hired to make up a good story to sell the product. They will sell these hats to people who have no idea...
Its good that you did John. Every year for the past few years the quality of the straw has been getting worse and worse. You can see the weave getting wider and wider every year. Now I was told that there is no more good Parabuntal on the market. I might be able to get a few pieces for next...
Why do you think there are only two hats factories left in the USA making dress hats....Yes , hat wearers who purchase better hats are certainly in the minority.
There really are just two manufacturers left in Europe that make all the Berets that you see today. There is one on France and one in Spain. The Spanish manufacturer is more consistent while the French company was reorganized and is now making berets again.
It seems the brands was made for Harry Levinson. Im sure the quality was on par with most of the finer hats of the day. The hat was probably made in Danbury .
That's a positive attitude ! I'm glad you got what you did. I wonder what happened to al of the sewing and tacking machines. From the pictures , there seemed to be a few of them .
I think if I had gone there without any of my staff, it would have been overwhelming!!
