Post New Hats Here!

Last one: Robson, for me an unknown brand from Italy. Some little mothholes, not a big deal,

and a half size to big for me. With a cork or tissue behind the sweatband it would be fit.

Those old velour hats are spectacular. It’s amazing how often you still find these 100 year old masterpieces.

Brent, Thank you! It surprises me too. As I mentioned this one came from a Czech seller,

WOW......Beautiful!!

Mark, Thanks!

The surprise hit of the summer—actually acquired about a month ago and in steady use ever since. 1960s Bonds straw with a 2 1/4 brim. Great for work and play. Thank you @Miamibruno !

J. Hückel´s Söhne "Jota Velour", FP 5, possibly late 1920s early 1930s. Really fantastic Black Velour that easily dry creases. There is no Hückel on the Liner and Sweatband. The JHS Crest is the similar to the "Loden" Soft Felts that also do not have Hückel on the Sweatband and Crown Tip Patch. The Paper Label is a JHS Soft Felts Post WWI Type 8 and has no mention of JHS. This hat came from a Czech source.

Open Crown

I found Vilém Rieger Praha - Břevnov in "Chytilův úplný adresár̆ Království českého / Chytilův Complete Directory of the Kingdom of Bohemia, Volume 1. 1913"

Hatters: Klima Ant. No. 267 - Rieger Vilém No. 265.

Gorgeous hat, Steve. Let's face it: you can never have enough of these.

That's a great haul, Marcel. I especially like the Cervo Bantam hats, the first one in particular. The panizza looks great as well.

Mr. Disney "Frisco". A bit of a Whippet clone (ha ... I typed Whipped the first time ... that may be more accurate). Hoping that the stains come out in the wash ...

 

[BobHufford]

1940s Portis. Was very dusty with a few dirt spots, but should be an easy clean.

 

[BobHufford]

OK ... that's enough of the brown and gray hats. We need some color!

Late 1950s Resistol 3X.

Bandera Twenty Five.

True blue ...

I’m a sucker for a blue hat. Any idea on the size?

PANK! Peters Bros. Shady Oaks Bankers Special Fifty.

7-1/4 I'm afraid.

This one was made for the LE market. Not exactly sure what Imported Venetian is. Milan maybe? Something not good enough for blinds? I don’t know. Very light and airy with a great leather sweat. 3” brim.

^^^ Wolf Bros have been around for a long time. They opened their first store in the Stockyards district selling boots & hats to the cattle buyers & sellers, & I think Scott @CS77 posted once about his dad buying him a hat there once as a kid when they took some cattle in to the district.

As the Stockyard district died Wolf Bros evolved into a western wear store & moved their store away from the district. Later they would establish a second store inside the areas biggest indoor shopping mall. I believe the mall store is long gone but the other store was still around last I knew.

I think you're right about Scott. Isn't your Knox Arminto clone from Wolf Brothers?
