Nice hat.¡¡¡¡

I made this hat on a new set of blocks from the 30's that I got from a seller in New York. The blocks are taller in back than the front. When creased the hat has a very square crown. I really like the way it turned out.[/QUOTE
Really very nice hat, is an art hat ¡¡¡¡ Cheers ¡¡¡

Buler, you have a site set up with hats your selling?

Nope. Just use ebay. But I'm really slow. I'm lucky to get 1 hat up a week. I really need to step it up.

My size 59cm (actually fits) Maysers silk Top Hat (Zylinderhut) arrived yesterday. It has some wear but not bad for the price plus rarity. This is the first pre WWII Mayser hat (of any type) I have encountered. I am thinking this one is early 1900s. More details in the German - Austrian thread.

Gorgeous Topper Steve!! It looks to be of very high quality craftsmanship. The Austrian and German hat makers really made some amazing stuff in the prewar years. :eusa_clap:eusa_clap

I like the straw hats and this boater is not exception, looks great on you, congratulations Josh, beauty hat.

Nice lid.

I'm not a big fan of boaters - to me they're inextricably linked with private school kids - but this one is different. I'd wear that for sure, the snap brim makes all the difference. And the taller, slightly tapered crown... it's a Boatora! Great hat, anyway, and it looks great on you.

Thanks 150719541, bolthead, & DAJE!!!

 

[mayserwegener]

Thanks! It has some major signs of ware but I got it because of the Mayser connection. I have been looking for an old Mayser for a long time. This is the first one I found and it turned out to be a Top hat. Mayser exported hats (all types) to the US about same time period (early 1900s) so maybe some will show up over here some day.

Wow, that´s a rare find, Steve. Hope, it fits well! Picture, please!

 

[Dreispitz]

Very nice one! Congratulations, Robert!

Wow, that´s a rare find, Steve. Hope, it fits well! Picture, please!

Dieter, It actually fits which is a bonus. I will post a photo although it would need some major rework to be worn formally. I will just have to assume the role of a chimney sweep.

I like that one, RLK.

It reminds me a bit of the Stetson I wore (and posted) last week. Yours seems to have a somewhat formal vibe where mine is a little sporty. Or so it seems to me. But I would guess that they date to the same general period. Cool hat ...

I received this Know Westlite "Open Road" last night...

The cattlemans crease on this hat did not look right at all (on me) so I rebashed it into this for now...

 

[RBH]

Good looking Knox Rodkins!

 

[Neophyte]

Man, Rodkins, your collection is growing fast. That's a great hat :eusa_clap!

 

[Mr. Paladin]

Good looking Knox Rodkins!

:arated: Yes, nice change to the crease.
