Went for an evening walk in this newly arrived ca. 1930s Bowler.
The temperature has been high here all week, but dropped some this evening. I didn't get very far though before I had to take off both hat and jacket :cool:
Arrived today, ca. 1930s, made in Denmark Stevens and Son Bowler, sold at an establishment called Stenno in Norrköping, Sweden.
Sadly, I haven't been able to find anything about either establishments. Interesting that the Danish "hatmaker" has an English name.
It's in wonderful condition both...
Finally arrived from the auction house in Sweden.
Once again, a big thanks to Matt @Mean Eyed Matt for the heads up on this one.
More to come in the Bowler or Derby Hat thread.
It was the name of Sinatra's "gang" in the 50s/early 60s.
Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davies Jr., Peter Lawford etc. Singers and actors.
Style icons of their day
That is a really nice Failsworth you found there, Marcel.
They're not as easily available on the market as most of the other Manchester area hatmakers.
At a push, from the shape, style and hat liner logo, I would say 50s to early 60s.
Thanks for the accoutrement tip, Jack. I don't smoke, but have always admired the various looks of pipes.
I'll definitely keep me eye out for a Stanwell H.C. Andersen
Thanks, Stefan.
They definitely are becoming somewhat addictive, especially ones as special as these two.
Looking forward to posting the newest Topper that's on its way as we speak :)
That is a great price for a Lincoln Bennett.
I would have easily paid double at least for it.
Please post photos of the liner, sweatband, and any labels underneath.
Remember too, to post it in the "The Bowler or Derby Hat" thread.
Once again, congrats on the buy :)
