Thank you kindly. Funny that I pick up Italian hats in America when I live in Europe..! Will have a look around Alexandria, VA vintage/thrift stores on Saturday for some American hats.

Vintage 2017 Stetson Stratoliner Hemp Milan in sand. Kind of impressed with the quality of this "special edition" version. Great sweat, supple and not so cheap feeling. The special edition has a sheepskin sweat as an upgrade. The milan weave seems a little more substantial than their regular Royale Deluxe. It would be interesting to weigh both. The 2 1/2" brim could use a little reshaping with steam, not quite pleased with the straight on profile. Got a deal at my local haberdasher, keeping the money here in the local community.

I like that one, too, Red! Nice looking hemp Stratoliner.

1940s ... possibly very early 1950s ... but I suspect 40s ... Stetson Bantam

quite possibly the most beautiful hat I've handled recently ... truly remarkable ... and extremely lightweight... the quality, denseness, and thinness of this felt is truly something to behold

just so absolutely comfortable

the condition is perfect ... looks almost untouched ...

it found its way to me via my friend and hat aficionado @Joshbru3 ...

when hats were hats my friends ... when hats were hats ...

very excited

Hi guys. It's been a while since I've been on the Lounge and posted something. Life keeps getting in the way plus I can't seem to work out how to post on my new phone and computer via Tapatalk. The Lounge seems to have been updated, too. Can't quite work it out. Hope it's not a sign of old age

Anyway, I thought I'd try and post a vintage Mayser hat I acquired in June. It's the first hat I've discovered and bought since buying two from Daniele Tinto in January. Hope you're well Daniele.

It's a lovely golden brown, soft felt Mayser. Here are some photos.

Thank you. I thought so too when I first saw it. Very autumnal colours. Perfect for the season coming up [emoji4]

Striking beauty right there. Yer gonna Njoy the hell outta that one. I'm Njoying just lookin.

Another cool thing about the hat was that it had the original owners initials punched in (so very German) along with his calling card inside the hat band. He was a book printer and publisher. Anyone have an idea of the date. I'd say 50's-60's.
