Based on info from The Lounge, this Adam probably dates from 1959.

Size 7 1/4 LO. This one has extremely thin super pliable felt. It came open crown and can easily creased and dented any which way. Very nice for summer wear.

Is it a Mainliner (my Mainliner has the same has the same liner and sweatband markings and the felt is lovely and thin as you describe) - it should say on the tag under the sweat?
Edit: I also have 7 on the way so hoping to share more with you soon. Still think this thread needs to be named the Adam Family!
billyspew said:Great thanks! Varies in design slightly to mine which is interesting.
For info, I believe that the first I believe to be late 40's very early 50's. The second is early 50's.
I've pulled about 20-25 pages of research together on Adam Hats so far, and once I've finished it I hope to have a time line of their history and prices.
Still trying to obtain some copies of newspaper ads that have been referenced and hope to get some trademark info soon as well.
Enjoy them, love mine and they are my favourites.
mayserwegener said:Yes they are very stylish. I also have a early 60s Adam porkpie.
I agree about your dating. The Pacesetter I just posted looks late 50s.
Looking forward to your Adam research.
