Nice. The Dobbs ad reminds me that my only Dobbs, a 20, has more snap to the brim than any other hat I own, and you can see it in this ad.

look closely

at the add for the brown Stetson Playboy- it looks like there could be some kind of communist propaganda watermarked in the background lol Right by the tip of the front of the man's brim appears to be a hammer and sickle lol

Wonder what the Russian hat market was like for Fedoras. Or did they even have any.[huh]

Here, you can see Comrade Crustschow weaving a fedora. I guess that was from the times some of his international counterparts went bareheaded.



Comrade Brezhnev and Comrade Dubcek



There are records of variuos hat manufacturers (Tonak, Borsalino,...) that exported to the USSR during the cold war. What, other than hats should one trade in icy times? :D
