Oh yea, I acknowledge that. I just know that Herbert Johnson and Dunn co. were both selling bowlers with D'orsay curls after most american manufacturers had switched over to pencil brims and machine stitched brims. Not for a large amount of time, if I remember correctly hatmakers followed the...
On ebay, you shouldnt pay more than $50 for an intact bowler in good to excellent condition. I believe they should sell for more, just because they are lovely hats, but as others have pointed out to me, Bowlers arent a tremendously popular to wear and because collectors satisfy themselves only...
Yea that was odd argument to make, Austrian velours were of such acclaim that GA dunn Co. apparently released their own line of them, why wouldnt he let the factories that already had the years of experience making them do the finishing.

Thanks everybody, I honestly thought there was no way I was going to win the auction on the Playboy as I wasnt particularly ambitious in my highest bid, but i'm thrilled that I did.
Great OR DJH, i contributed my fair share of views to that thread.
RLK, congrats to you as well on the pair...
Once again everyone managed to outdo themselves.
Chepstow, I wish I had your talent, that hybrid hat looks like a creation that could have come from any one of the esteemed hatmakers known here.
Another fine boater Alan. Such a great style of hat, whenever I see one I cant help but think...
Parisian made Topper, made for a German retailer. Without a doubt one of my favorite hats that has come into my possession, even more so because it fits perfect.
In fantastic condition, the leather box it came with is in equally good condition.
