Post New Hats Here!

My Society Brand crusher arrived today. I've been waiting for this hat almost my whole life.

The quality is astounding. It's a touch big on my head, though.

This is a custom hat I had from Cappelleria Melegari in Milan
Sergio Anzani, the hatter, has a catalog of five or six basic forms of hats from where you can get variations on the theme, as well as a historical shop where sell the best brands in the world of hats.
I chose a form from the thirties and this is the result

Proportions are: brim at 6.5 cm. (2 5/8 inches) and crown at 12.5 cm. ( 5 inches) bashed. Ribbon is 4 cm. (1 5/8 inches)

The felt is FEPSA 120 gr. beige (or bone)

I chose a color that was not present in my collection

The lining is a modern satin with the brand in gold

The hatter sign with a golden pencil the hat with the number of hats done during years

My size is 60 cm. (7 1/2 USA9 and this is a tad large

I'm satisfied customer? Yes! The experiment will ended well

Another in the near future?

That is a Beautiful Hat Daniele ! Everything About It !

One of the rare hat I wish to have from your collection Alan (I'm a perfect liar)

Carl Zeümer, measures 60cm, probably mid to later 1950s.

Another of the Steve hats I wish to have on hands......

Got this vintage Pilgrim in the mail today. Thanks to Bob Hufford for the tip.

I know this was the Sears brand for years. I'm guessing it's late '40s to early '50s. It has a 2 5/8 brim, probably 5 1/2 to 5 3/4 crown. It's in great shape.

Oh, and it has this faux wind trolley button, with no cord.

Jay -- the Pilgrim looks great on you! I guess a bit of karma came back my way and I found a Pilgrim at a flea market this evening ($8.95). Not as sweet as yours, but I was happy to find it. I also found a wool Pendleton ($4.48) at the DAV thrift and a USA made engineer cap ($2.98).

Pilgrim:

I guess Du Pont "Quilon" resists water, but allows stains to pass through to the liner.

Nice finds, Bob. I need to visit more flea markets.

I love that kind of ephemera. Congrats Andrew!

Got this Stetson a couple weeks ago but just got around to dusting it off.

And this Borsalino showed up a couple days ago. Destined for another noggin, as the brim length is not flattering to my currently "more rounded" face. Lol.

Thanks, guys. It was really cool to find them in my own backyard. I got them from a buddy who bought them years ago at a well respected doctor's estate sale. We found them tucked away in his garage. He had long since forgotten about them. Boy, am I glad to have been there helping him organize.
