Post New Hats Here!

Hello,

Behold the first of my two latest acquisitions!

Knox homburg:

Not that old, but it was a good price. I seem to recall a homburg with an unbound brim, such as this one, had a different name?

I believe it's sometimes called a "lord's hat". No matter what you call it, it's a wonderful lid! Congrats!

New Stetson Downs

I picked this hat up at my local Stetson "overrun/defect" factory outlet for $40!!. After digging through a hundred lids, found this one in perfect condition, only flaw was that the size tag was wrong in the hat. Not even the wife could argue this impulse buy.

Nice one! Congratulations - don't you love it when you dig and dig and finally just the right one appears?

Best Felt I've ever touched - and with a 2 1/2" ribbon

What bash folks?

 

[thunderw21]

I vote center with front pinch.

Fantastic Hat.:eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap
Try a center crease with moderate side dents slightly towards the front. What's the brim flanging like or is it a bit limp at this time? A polishing spin with a bit of light spray works wonders with those hairy beasts.

Holy Smokes.........

Wow....amazing Garrett, where do u find all the gems?

I'd go with a simple center crease or side creases.....no pinch.

I say center with or without dents.

Very nice sir! I like the other one as well but this one is by far my favorite. Great color and styling. A lord's hat, I believe.

I have good luck there every time as long as I carefully examine the hats. Often the only flaw is so minor as to be imperceptible or merely a mistake such as yours. Maybe I'll see you there sometime. Happy hunting!

Very nice find, Scott! Nice brown tone and distinctive bow. Good box too; I love Resistols.

 

[Mr. Paladin]

What bash folks?

Center dent with forward side pinches; not tight though.

 

[billysmom]

What bash folks?

Agree with the above: center dent with shallow side dents toward the front. Wonderful lid!

I concur with everything Sue and the others said: (shallow) center dent with (shallow) side pinches. Make that crown stand tall!

OLD topper

Tattered but I love this one:

 

[Spats McGee]

Well, the Christmas tree is up, so I was able to put some steam to my new Camp Draft. The first picture doesn't accurately show the color, but the rest of the pics are pretty close. These were taken last night & it was too late for natural light, but the second and fourth pictures are the closest, I think.

​

I can already tell that this one's going to be a favorite for casual wear!

Borsalino

This is a black Borsalino (size 6 1/2 Punti) made for the German market. I am thinking late 50s early 60s. Paid $23.00 dollars.
