Must've missed this earlier, very nice! The felt must be very pliable.

Thanks DD. Almost too soft for my tastes. I'm hoping when I settle on a crease I like, a little steam will set it.

1930s Dobbs "Leisure light" came with some awesome packaging. I'll steam it as best as I can and take better photos

I know exactly how you feel Justin. I got one in the exact same mailer envelope.
Beyond stupid. Mine survived. Hope your’s does.

Oof, I just remembered the boater I won on eBay that was recently delivered, and I won't be back home for weeks. Hope it was packaged well...

Oy! I'm sure it'll bounce back.

10 lashes should do it! Can't wait for pictures of the hat after some TLC

That’s tough. They probably overcharged on shipping too, then pull this. Bring back public flogging!

Bet you can bring it back to life, but still.... (need a little smiley face shaking its head here). Good luck!

Thankfully it did bounce back... I don't understand what some people think. Almost as bad as shipping a hat insize a hatbox... and using the hatbox as the shipping box.

Just received this hat from a seller on eBay. It's in pristine condition and I got it for a great price. I think part of the reason it was a sleeper, so to speak, is that it's not branded by any of the well-known makers. It was sold by Cain-Sloan Company in Nashville, once the premier department store there, but has no other markings (other than the size). It's made and fits like a higher end hat, similar to a Knox Hallmark Series that I have.

Any ideas on who made hats for Cain-Sloan?

Worth - Walden Deluxe Westerner just arrived. Listed by the seller as green, I was thinking light sage unless the sellers photo was way underexposed. It does have green undertones but Taupe Fawn comes to mind. A real nice hat.

Needs a bit of cleaning and the longevity of the sweat is in doubt, but it will see some head time.

Panama is one of the usual ones that arrive in Europe from South America

Finished with little care and not very well shaped was an ugly duckling and before becoming a fluffy straw hat I sent it for an aesthetic cure in Holland from Fleur - Penumbra Hat

The result is what you see: the hat has become more attractive and with a good personality considering that it is one of the minimum qualities for a straw hat

A new pleated bronze-golden ribbon and a new shape give it more dignity

The proportions are those of a normal panama: 7 cm. brim, 9 cm. the crown and the ribbon is at 4 cm. No lining only the tip of the original manufacturer and a new sweat band

A new life for this hat called to the hot Italian summer work

 

[mayserwegener]

Daniele, Looks great! Top of the line transformation by Fleur - Penumbra Hat! Looking forward to seeing it in action.

 

[Daniele Tanto]

It is in action Steven in the WHYAWT
Have a nice day and I have some news for you

 

[mayserwegener]

Daniele, Thanks! Look forward to your news. Here is one for you.

 

[mayserwegener]

Società Anonima Cappellificio Monzese, 58.5cm, Wool, possibly late 1950s. There is no paper label behind the sweatband. The Wool is fantastic and easily dry creases. Unique ribbed sweatband.
