Pre 1940s Stetson Westerns
I don't suppose anyone here got this beauty? http://cgi.ebay.com/Large-Vintage-1920s-Stetson-Sombrero_W0QQitemZ190359619899 There are more pics, if someone else would like to post them. -
A sea of police hats.
I sure hope there aren't any cop haters on this forum. These pictures really made me think about the extent to which cops keep the hat tradition going. Just hadn't thought about it. There are a LOT of hats in those photos. Very cool indeed. We already lost too many cops due to one... -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Fedora, not homburg. And it could be as old as the 50s, but we'll need to see better photos. The "fifteen" designation probably didn't see a lot of use later than the 50s I'd guess and that felt looks nice. The top of the liner may not be protected with plastic, which might also place it... -

Again, that's probably the store where it was sold, not the manufacturer: "Made Expressly For". But the stores selling hats have certainly retracted, too. Garrett, you figure that's late 19thC? Couldn't be much later than 1910s? And don't let those thin ribbon people see it. A... -

The BEST OF 2009 - your choices
Lefty, that is a black hat. What has gotten into you? But I must admit, that is an incredible lid. -

rlk, I do hope you understand that your puppy pug is not made of what we in the USA call a "puppy". In fact, it is more likely to be the product of the silk worm. Okay, that's all the self-parody I can swing after a long day... -
Has anyone ever had a bespoke fedora made from Baron hats?
She's always up at Art's place. Did Baron really make 25,000 hats for Seabiscuit? -

Has anyone ever had a bespoke fedora made from Baron hats?
If you have over 200 fedoras, it's high time you started posting pictures of them here. BTW, folks here have only been mentioning dress hat makers so far. There are still plenty of western/cowboy hat makers still using original equipment, such as North Valley and Rocky Mountain Hat Company. -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Eek. I didn't see those others. Hard to know what to believe now! It would be interesting to see the actual hat. See for example whether the leather tanning and oxidized brass had invaded the felt and what that looks like. -

I otter point out that Frank E. Hunt is probably the name of the store that sold it, not the guy who wore it. Also of course it doesn't say pure or clear otter, so who knows... Nice and interesting hat. Would very much like to see a picture of the perforation pattern on the top. -
Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds
Find an experienced framing shop that can float these onto rice paper. They'll get cleaned in the process. Make sure they use a reversable process. Nice line work. Love the odd fish in the background, too. The standard of quality set by cartoonists of the era such as Winsor McCay...- feltfan

Unless someone sewed in a vintage sweatband, that's not a newer hat made up for a movie. Pretty cool buckle on that band, too. It does appear to me somehow older than your hat. But yeah, I'd want more bona fides and perhaps fewer moth bites for that money. For the look, it'd be easier... -

Pure Beaver. Whew. How about leaving it as-is. Looks great. -

I don't buy it. I have never noticed any ventilation from that Borsalino corrugation. I'm with carouselvic on this one. Fascinating to suddenly find out Stetson, Dobbs, and Mossant did it, too. -
THE MALLORY MILE
Sorry to be off-topic (I promise to post my Mallory derby in penance)... My father had the Cremina. We never could get it right... My setup is here: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showpost.php?p=767243&postcount=37 -
THE MALLORY MILE
Ooh, I have a Mallory derby around here somewhere (7 5/8) but it doesn't look as good on me as that does on you. Nice phone. Always wanted one of those... Nice espresso setup, too. At first I thought it was an Olympia Cremina, but then I noticed it has an E61 group. What is it?
