Another "Airliner" in the color "Serpent".

Going for the coveted attorney/politician market.

Thank you gentlemen for the comments/likes.

Adam Executive in grey. I think the colour is called "Chelsea" (could be the model name though). Felted edge brim, called "hand sealed edge" by Adam at 7cm and the crown at 10cm at the center dent. Pliant-eze sweatband, whatever that means. Sold to me as a size 57, but it is a size 59. The confusion is understandable though as it also has a 7 1/8 label inside. Missing its liner unfortunately.

A fine looking Adam, Stefan.

Adam Executive Quality. The style reminds me of a late 1950s Whippet. The open crown is 5 1/2” and the brim is 2 1/4” wide.

Adam Executive Quality midnight blue homburg size 7 1/8 US. This is a great hat. The felt is thin and very malleable, and it has a wonderful hand. It readily accepts any dry shape I try…all on the top of a fence post. The open crown is approximately 5 5/8 inches. The leather sweatband is soft and supple.

Fabulous

Canadian made Adam homburg in dark green (!). Size 57 with the brim at 6cm and the crown at 11cm at the center dent. Nice shape and proportions to this one and the green is so dark that I have to (grudgingly ) admit I like it. One cannot have enough homburgs. Many thanks go out to Brent @deadlyhandsome, who generously provided this one.

Quite nice indeed

Thanks, Joe. It is.

My newest addition is a later Adam Airliner, its in pretty good shape with he exception of a tear in the back of the sweat band and unfortunately any labels have worn off the sweat. Still quite comfortable though. I didn't have a shorter brimmed, 2 1/4", thin ribbon hat, and I quite like this for something different. The gabardin is a nice neutral color that seems like it would go with most anything.

Nice one! I’m a big fan of 2 1/4 brims and have noticed that I get more compliments when I occasionally wear them. I think they probably look a little more cool and casual for folks that aren’t used to vintage proportions.

Hey all!
Trying to narrow down a date on this old beat up and mothed Adam hommie that a freind found. Anyone able to decipher this combo of stamps tags and logos?



The liner had been stitched in, there was no evidence on the back seam of the tip that a protector had ever been present. No union label that I could see, but there might be one under the reed tape where there is stitching holding the bow on. Very nice thin, light felt. Other than the mothing, it is actually in decent condition.

Somewhere back in this thread is a rough guide based on the liner tip logos. That one's pretty old, but I forget what period it is.

I looked but didn't find it. I hope it didn't vanish due to being hosted by some defunct image service...
