Fabulous hat David. Quite striking with the contrasting brim binding. I suspect I might have gotten a similar reaction from my wife.So my wife doesn’t love this hat—“it’s eye-catching” she said while rolling her eyes. And it is a pretty bold statement of a hat, with a 5/8” copper binding that really catches the light and a dramatic 2 3/4” brim.
Apart from some anxiety about pulling off the wearing of such a hat, it is one of the nicest fedoras I’ve ever held. A Dobb’s Fifteen originally purchased in Philadelphia. The felt is unbelievably soft and malleable. It feels like velvet—such a difference from my other hats. I get why you would’ve paid the extra $5 back in the day.
Keeping it for now—will see how brave I’m feeling in the fall.
David

Nice way to start them off. Do it now before everything you suggest in the fashion arena gets an eye roll or a blank stare.Royal Whippet 6 7/8 Long Oval in my 10 year olds size

She has a beautiful early 50s Stratoliner, a 50s Canadian Stetson and a 1960s Resistol that were all size mistakes. She's making out pretty good lolNice way to start them off. Do it now before everything you suggest in the fashion arena gets an eye roll or a blank stare.

Fantastico!"Dogma" "Striegau", Wool, 57 cm, possibly 1930s maybe later 1920s and most likely made by Berlin - Gubener Hutfabrik. This is based on the Paper Label type and that "Striegau" was located in Germany but after WWII Strzegom, Poland. The Hat was sold by Hut Köhl Kehl am Rhein** which is directly across the Rhein from Stroudsburg. The Wool felt is very pliable with high gloss. The overall condition is very good and the Crown Tip Patch is still in place. The "Dogma" brand / mark is very unique. I enjoy finding these old German Wool Soft Felt Hats and this one is a great example.
Daniele, Thank you!Fantastico!

Brent, Thanks! It does have a great shape / form and that has held up well over time especially the flange.I don’t know that you could exactly say why but this hat is fantastic! The shape is really something special. Thanks for sharing this, Steve.
Joe, Thank you! The "Dogma" brand / mark was a surprise. Probably will never see another one.That is quite a hat Steve. I like that Dogma brand name
