it only took a year but i think it would do Ostrovsky proud....

Very nice pairing there.

Very nice indeed. The Frank H. Lee Company made nice hats (Lee and Disney to name but two).

It's hard to judge, but from the price and the oil skin tip I'd say late 40's, maybe early 50's. It is just a guess though!

Thanks Billyspew ..... That is what I thought on the date .. mainly due to the price tag ... what do you mean by "oil skin tip"???

Very nice Lee Black Label Homburg. I would agree with billyspew on the 40's to 50's date estimate based upon sweat and liner details. The 'oil-skin tip' he referred to, also known as 'onion-skin', is the translucent cellophane type material protecting the liner tip from soiling, commonly found on hats from the era.

Consider adding your hat photos to The Lee Lounge for additional reference.

Stetson 130 Years 100X

Fairly light medium weight felt with fantastic finish but quite stiff(not up to today's helmet standard though). Full 2" thin soft sweatband with 65 X's for the 1865-1995 Anniversary. Tasteful silver Bohlin small buckle on the felt band. Stevens/Stetson finest of the 90's.

Yes, I think so.
Is the hat a custom or were you able to acquire an existing one?
Fantastic photo, by the way.

Great trio, rlk. I love the look of that velour on you.

Took the words right out of my mouth, Lefty.

the hat was from Baron's, they gave me the run around for about a year of when my hat would be complete. I wont be buying one there any time soon. But what they did make me was perfect to sit next to that painting.

Beautiful hat delectans!

A belated thank you, djd! Not sure how I missed your kind remark from two days ago. :eusa_doh:

Worth the aggravation though - your display is outstanding. What a great conversation piece!
Also got me to check out Ostrovsky's work which I've never paid attention to before. I have Bridge Over Troubled Water as the wallpaper on one of my computers now.

Thank you Jack. I'm sure TonyB would be delighted to help you out.

I grabbed this very nice, somewhat lightweight, felt off the bay. Has a great looking pug on it. Really a nice shaped hat, in great condition!

Anyone ever heard of this hat company? I am unable to locate any info. Probably a late 60's early 70's but nice style and color.

 

[suitedcboy]

RLK,
Dang! Love this one!
Where do you find all these hats?
This is a new brand for me I've not heard of.
Was Snyder a maker or is this a private label made by one of the known makers?

 

[mayserwegener]

Part of a recent haul from a local vintage clothing shop. Probably German, looks 30's-ish, to me at least. A fair bit of mothing, but still quite wearable - for the right person! At 55cm, it's a bit too small for me, alas.....

More details in German and Austrian hats thread.

Rob, Again fantastic find!

Snyder's Genuine Velour

Robert, Beautiful! The Velour finish looks great. Were you able to dig up anything on Synder?

 

[Wojo]

That hat looks great on you.

Mr Badger, thanks for mentioning Mister Hats. I have been looking for a Borsalino Panama porkpie in a size 8". Good luck right. Well I called down there and they had one and it is on its way to my head.
