Looks like lots of wool hats have that designation, so not a model number = http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-EDD...682?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19e1834ff2

These pics are the best ones from the original eBay listing. I even emailed the seller to ask where they got it.

Here's a more western model of same material = http://www.porkpiehatters.com/products/the-dynafelt-rancher

Capas seem to be the wholesale company for Dynafelt, but I can't see that model: http://www.capasheadwear.com/?page_id=5

I'm not sure where you can find another one but I believe Dynafelt is a blend of wool and rabbit.

Right Mike = "Classic American cowboy hat made of Dynafelt, a mixture of wool and rabbit fur. This hat is made to take a beating"

Well, I think I may have solved the mystery on who made the hat:

Now if I could just find another one!

Where can i get a hat/cap like this that isn't a biker hat?

Where can i get a quality hat/cap like this that isn't a vintage Harley biker hat or cheap captains cap?

If you're trying to find a flat top one like that you might try a commercial uniform supplier for a chaufeur's cap. Miller hats also used to have better quality yacht caps on their website.
Good Luck

How long to get a hat from Hats Direct

They have shipped it already - a Campdraft. The estimates are from 5 to 14 days, and they warned U.S. Customs has been a little slow. How long does it actually take? Thanks.

 

[Rogera]

Usually about 7 days in my experience. It spends most of the time in customs in LAX

 

[jlee562]

Don't recall mine taking more than 10...in fact, I remember thinking it showed up quickly.

 

[Cattus Petasatus]

7 days to Dallas

 

[Blackthorn]

My last one was way more than 2 weeks.

Decent selection of chauffeurs caps: http://www.christys-hats.com/products/chauffeur-caps#sthash.q461XINS.dpbs

What about a decent Breton though: http://www.tailsclothing.com/hats/caps/casquette-marin-breton-sailing-cap.html

Although I ordered my most recent acquisition from Everything Australian, not Hats Direct, it took eight days (Melbourne to the Los Angeles area) once they shipped it. I concur with Rogera; unexpected delays are usually caused by U.S. Customs.

Where can i get a hat/cap like this?

Firstly what is Humphrey wearing on his noggin?
Where can one get one, who is remaking these kind of cap/hats?

 

[Shangas]

It looks like some variety of peaked cap. Most good hat-shops will sell them, and I daresay, a wide variety of online retailers.

 

[simonc]

Its more subtle than a peaked cap, to me its a hybrid between a captains hat and harley biker hat and I'm wondering what it was and if anyone is making them and where.
