1940s or early 1950s Royal Stetson De Luxe "Supper Club" (single cell red/white factory sticker). Really nice except for the liner foxing / staining and the charcoal briquet of verdigris (that I'm almost afraid to mess with).

A hat of a different color, but I think I can work it into my wardrobe.

Fabulous. I’m assuming the fashion forward look of both of these hats being the same size that they came from the same owner?

Wegener in dark brown.
Great color, and i really like the hatband size, but i do not know anything from the hat. Who can help me? There's a little damage on the inside sweatband.
What is 'U2' (not the band i guess :)) standing for?

Nice find, Marcel. Judging by the liner and label a more modern one. I suspect the U2 was put on there by the manufacturer os the sweatbands, maybe a quality designation?

Haven't posted these yet. On their way to their new masters. First.

Berteil in brown. Size 60 with the overwelt brim at 6,7cm and the crown at 10cm at the center dent. This one was most likely made by Laubin for Berteil as the size label is the same they used.

Third one on ats way already to its new master. The story: our fellow lounger Randy McCamey @Rmccamey picked up a Stetsonian bowler hat that didn't fit him. He suggested a trade and challenged me to find a bowler that was fitting for his collection. I pride myself a bit for putting him on the track more or less with sending him a Kaller bowler to get a taste for them (we can say it workedand then some - I did not foresee it taking this form;)). Anyway; challenge accepted and some time passes without anything of note showing up (at a decent price at least). Then this one came along.

Mayser bowler in black. Size 57 with the quit narrow brim at 4,7cm and the crown 13cm or thereabouts. This an oldie and the liner alone is worth the price of admission. At least I think so.

Another one found and sent along across the waters.

Happily, I was able to see these pictures, but the bowler isn’t showing up on this thread, either.

More new hats. Picked this one up at a ridiculous price.
Borsalino Linea Sport fedora in black with a suede finish. Size 57 with the raw edge brim at 6,5cm and the crown at 11,5cm at the center dent. Might not be vintage Borsalino, but it's a quality hat all the same. Very nice hand to the felt.

Very happy with this one! 1940s Royal Stetson in blue. 2-3/4" brim, 5-1/2" open crown. 1-1/8" ribbon width. Wider binding like a Whippet. A large size 7-1/2 ... I'll have to pad it a little.
