French Hats and makers.

Tres bien, Douglas.
What year is that one do you think?

 

[DOUGLAS]

I don't really know. It is very light weight and is made well. I suspect no earlier than the 40's no later than the 50's. What ever the age it is a wonderful hat to wear. It will be one of my travel hats from now on.

Super find! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap I would think it is at least 1930s probably older.

Hi

That Flechet Haut-Luxe looks unworn. It is new, new old stock, or just in really great condition? Nice shape etc.

I think it was only worn by moths.

I'm having trouble seeing the color on that one, Robert. Is it a greyish brown?

More brown than it appears here. The detail of the sweat and underside is closest(third photo).

 

[Matt Deckard]

Is she seriously taking a dump in his hat?
