I found this one a few days ago and it is on its way. Very happy. I needed a green hat, like Moe

This one is a bit of a mystery. The eBay listing for my Adam Homburg also included a couple of pics of this hat, which was being included as a bonus. It looked cheap, wool-ish and uninteresting (not to mention overly grommeted), and I was going to contact the seller and tell him to leave it out but then the disease kicked in (CAN'T RESIST FREE HAT!) and just let it be included.
Well, I was wrong on at least two counts. Not wool, and not uninteresting. It's fur felt, with a band made of leather thats heavily processed so I first thought synthetic. The sweat is cloth, but reeded most likely to give some structure. Only marking is the tag.

Crown is 5", brim is 2 5/8". 110g. The color and construction make me think of a uniform hat of some sort. The size marked M is under 22 inches, so I'm thinking maybe a youngster as in a Scout or Cadet of some type?
Any input in solving this mystery welcomed!

Looks like it wants to be a campaign hat. Boy scouts?

This is probably not as exciting as the vintage finds posted here. But I just acquired this Toyo straw hat on clearance from Jos. A Bank. Made in the USA, now on clearance for less than $20 (although it was $7.99 when I made my purchase a few days ago).

Here's the link: http://www.josbank.com/jos-a-bank-toyo-straw-fedora-clearance

And here's my hat. Can't go wrong for the price.
