Post New Hats Here!

[Lefty]

One of many thrift store finds today, including the jeans and t-shirt.

60? 70s? Whatever. It's made in Cleveland and, despite being 2 sizes too small, it seems to fit just fine.

 

[Mr E Train]

I like it!!!
To bad the Arcadia was discontinued.

I like it too. Wow, $40, that's a great deal on a great hat!

Looks like the Arcadia can be had here:

Just got this today. Local shop was having a 50% off sale so I couldn't resist.

It is a SCALA brand.

My first 100% wool hat. Marked as a "small" but a little to big for my head. I will add a spacer to the inside. I like it, but it is my first full brim. I am not sure how it's going to fit with my face structure. I know it doe snot fit with the shirt I am wearing in the photo, I plan to get a dark brown jacket (like a bombers jacket) for the winter.

I think that could be a good bit earlier.

Got my first proper fur felt hat today. i went to an antiques place, they had alot of trilbys, a stetson western which was too small, this was the only fur felt however.

Its definately seen better days, it has a small moth hole, the felts a bit grubby and the bows a bit messed up. but i like it all the same.

the linings not too bad.

Its REALLY soft in comparison to my wool felt jaxon. The woman i bought it from reckoned it was 1940's but who knows... here it is wearing me.

 

[Garrett]

Congrats Wyrd

That is a fine velour :eusa_clap Definitely made prior to the 40's if everything is original. Interesting how the grosgrain ribbon bow/knot style is similar to the old Bowlers. It may have even been taken from an old Bowler as a replacement for the original ribbon.

 

[Dinerman]

I really like that hat. It's an old one. And just so you know, the fraying on the bow edge is intentional, and came that way from the factory.

 

[Wyrd]

KNOWLEDGE! you are both filled with it! not fur felt then :eusa_doh: interesting about the frayed bow. Its great to actually know something about the hat now. and indeed on the sweatband it says "austrain velour" dunno how i missed that xP

cheers guys.

You sir, have instantly garnered as much respect as I can muster. :eusa_clap
Alas, I'm not too enthusiastic about finding a vintage hat in 7 3/8 that I like.

...I guess it couldn't hurt to try. [huh]

 

[Mr. Paladin]

Great finds, Buler! Never much luck at antique shops down this way.

Congratulations. I think that color would go just fine with a dark brown jacket.
