    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    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:

    The Bowler or Derby Hat

    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.

    Quite the brim width on that Sunbody, Jonathan. Ought to keep the whole family in the shade :) Love the hatband, too.

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Looks like some serious brim width on that one, Mike. Nice buy.

    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.

    You should see Petitgas inside for real, Mark. It's like travelling back in time.

    Love the colour and look of the weave on that one, Eric.

    Thanks again, Jack. I'll definitely have to keep my eye out for one now.

    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

    A Bohlins of Sweden cap, originally sold at good old Petitgas in Copenhagen.

    Toppers Unite

    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 :)

    I agree with Bob. It should more or less pop back into shape without too much difficulty. Lincoln Bennett & Co Bowler - nice catch btw.

    French Hats and makers.

    Great find, Mike.
