Post New Hats Here!

[monbla256]

Thanks... wonder if I could still fit in the one I wore at my Bar Mitzvah?

You're aging us both I have a blue one my father wore back in the 60's in my closet. Interesting fabric ! BTW, I am in LOVE with that Panama you posted earlier

This one was actually sent from within the USA. Seems to be a Beaver felt in extraordinary condition for its age.

That is a thing of beauty. Every man should have such a bowler in their repetoire! Very nice!

Now you need to get a grey sharkskin suit made to go with that one!! Though I'm not a big fan of Milans or pork-pies, I always liked how they looked on old blue eyes ! NICE, NICE hat Alan !!

and as always, Onward thru the Fog

" Come fly with me"! You look great in that one Alan, channeling the Chairman.

Nifty looking bowler there Robert. You know I was wondering who you reminded me of because you looked familiar. Then when watching the movie 2010 this morning it hit me, Latvian actor Elya Baskin, but with darker hair. Any relation?

Cheers!

Separated at birth?

In short, he was born in Riga, attended Moscow's prestigious Theatre and Variety Arts College and won a Festival of Young Actors Award at the Moscow Comedy Theatre and then had immigrated to the U.S. in 1976. He has been acting in the U.S. since then. I think that the first movie I had ever seen him in was Raise the Titanic (1980). Made a good career out of being a character actor.

Sorr, didn't mean to derail this thread. Now, back to our regular programming.

Cheers!

Hückel Standard Crystall Velour

I'm drooling over this velour but struggling to steam out the line made from telescoping the crown to fit the shorter box. Condition is amazing.

Resistol Beaver Fifteen Kitten Finish

Seems to be in purrfect condition. Even brim was unsnapped.

That liner shot look almost exactly like my lone Resistol fedora in my little collection.

My photo cuts it off, but I have the Kitten Finish stamp in mine, too.

My guess that this is a 1950s piece?

 

[rlk]

I believe the liner starts early/mid 50's and lasts into 60's. The hat is probably mid 50's beginning of brim reduction(just under 2-3/8").

 

[hatophile]

Both are great hats, Robert, that velour is plush-looking.

The brim on mine is 2-1/2. But I think I agree. The thing has the feel of 1950s to me.

That looks like a John Forsythe hat, for those who can remember his show of the 1950s or 1960s (not Charlie's Angels).

Bachelor Father? I certainly don't remember the show. I DO remember Charlie's Angels!

I had a feeling this one was going to be amazing. In my opinion JHS made the finest velours. Sorry for the repeat photos but it deserves it!

Bachelor Father. It's probably a good thing you don't remember it, or you would have dated yourself. I am sure the Internet will have photos of John Forsythe in a hat similar.

I'm drooling too!!! Holly crap, that hat is just amazing in every way. The felt looks to be of the highest quality, and I love the liner with the very subtle black print on silk. I think thats how all liners should be done. It give a very high class look and feel to the hat. WELL DONE!!!!:eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap

 

[alanfgag]

a remarkable piece!
