A nice find for a hat bake, Stefan. I'm glad to hear it worked for you. -
Post New Hats Here!
Gently and easily is definitely the right working method, Stefan. Glad to hear you finally found a candidate for the hat bake experiment. -
The Bowler or Derby Hat
A Battersby Bowler that has been through good times and bad. Nevertheless, well worth saving, and thank you for doing so, Stefan. -

Now that is a beauty, Randall. Looks good on you, too. Any labels under that supple looking sweatband? -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
Great to hear from you, Nathan. You're looking good, and look like yourself even though you don't feel or see it. Don't be too sorry about slow Internet. It's good to get off the grid. Love the cap, my friend. Stay safe and be well. -

The market is different now. Plus, thanks to Manchester United (my team), the world has heard of Manchester :) -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
The rational was sales. London, Paris, New York were known cities of fashion. Manchester wasn't, though that was the centre of English hat makers since the early to mid 1800s. -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
Great looking Moores' Homburg with a very nice contrasting ribbon, bow, and brim binding colour. Moores were one of the great Manchester hat makers from the Denton area, so it always pains me that they didn't put Manchester on the designation along with London, Paris, and New York. -
The Bowler or Derby Hat
My initial reaction is circa 1920s/30s. Two nice finds, btw. -
What Cap Are You Wearing Today?
The temperatures are getting cooler, and the nights are drawing in here in Denmark, so time for some headwear. Cap from Bohlins of Gothenburg, Sweden for a day out in Copenhagen's famous Tivoli Gardens. -

The Bowler or Derby Hat
I'd say they're original. I have a Stetson Bowler from the late 1920s / early 30s period with original vent eyelets. Please post more photos of the liner and any labels under the sweatband. -
The Bowler or Derby Hat
Great find, Steve. Looks in super condition. And such a bonus with the box! Congrats. -

If you're in Norway then a custom hat from Hornskov Hats in Denmark or Hufved in Sweden would save you a lot of money postage wise. Check out their websites. Alternatively, go vintage. It's what most of us do here on the FL. You'll get a much better hat for a lot less money than a modern... -

Looks good on you, Randall. Who gives a hoot how "modern" it is when the style is still so Stetson cool. -

I'm definitely of the opinion that it is a 1940s era hat. The red duplicate label looks Stetson like to me. -

Love your new hat shop Randall. I can definitely see you hattering away there. Lucien de Brabant et frére was a top notch Parisien hat shop like Sools. They didn't make their own hats, so whoever made that one will remain a mystery. It could be Mossant or Motsch, perhaps. Is there a label... -

I'm sorry to say, I don't believe it has any Stockport connection, David. However, I'm sure you can find one of the Stockport hatters hats to add to your English collection :)
