I picked this up this week. Its an Open Road clone I think. I cleaned it up yesterday. Not bad but I am not sure of its age.
Thank Steve. They are a sort of curiosity because it is weird find the last "survivors" of a ancient and estimate hats production like the French without some little works to make them complete. The felts are fantastic, the shapes followed the fashion of that time. Fleur did the best to give them some new lifeSome truly wonderful hats, Daniele, beautifully resurrected and brought back to life thanks to you and especially Fleur.
The "Veritable feutre de poil" is my favourite too and the felt is quite fantastic.Some lovely heather felts that have been brought back to life, Daniele. I think I like the "veritable feutre de poil" best.
I always like it when I see that label in a hat. Kind of covers all the bases
Wonderful grey bowlerFor the second one we'll stay in England. Woodrow Amylyte Burlington bowler in grey. The size is 58, but it runs smaller than that. Colour is called radium. Brim at just shy of 5cm and crown 12cm. Another very lightweight bowler hat at just 98 grams. Grey bowlers are difficult to come by, so a pity it's not my size.

I don’t know what’s better - the hat, or the background.Mallory XV The Dallas. It’s post-Stetson buyout, but it’s wonderfully light felt. The darker photos show the colors more accurately...kind of a buckskin.

Sadly, it’s off to eBay. If anyone here is interested shot me a PM.
I picked up a new Bailey on Ebay and the felt was thick and plush. I was niceley surprisedBailey isn’t a brand that gets a lot of love around here, but there’s nothing wrong with that hat. Is the felt firm/stiff, or is it more supple?
Dobbs 15 arrived today. More in the Dobbs Diner. View attachment 309486

Very nice, Brent. My rule of thumb is that the ones with these liners are the good ones.Mallory XV The Dallas. It’s post-Stetson buyout, but it’s wonderfully light felt. The darker photos show the colors more accurately...kind of a buckskin.
