Post New Hats Here!

[Annixter]

The temperature is slowly limping upwards and as the thermometer reaches the dizzy heights of 9C here in the north of England I buy my first Panama!:eeek:

Looks good, stratcat. I need a Panama, but every time I save up I find vintage neckties. Not the worst predicament, I suppose.

Echter Borsalino, size Point 5, very good condition, probably 1930s. More details in the other threads.

Meyserwegener - That is a beaut. I keep looking at grey homburgs thinking "I could really do with a grey homburg" that is a beauty of a homburg and it's not helping my hat acquisition situation!
Thanks

 

[mayserwegener]

Thanks! It's actually an over welt with brim curl. In Germany they would call it a Mode Hut (Fashion Hat). I posted more details in the Borsalino Brotherhood and German - Austrian threads if you want to take a look.

Early Velour sold by A.Alexander of Brooklyn



Regrettably no body labels at all. Wide sweatband and elaborate gold logo with fully encircling lacing suggests first 1/3 of 20th Century and possible Austrian origin.
Address is now the Sunset Park Learning Center. No luck on searches.

 

[mayserwegener]

Great old Velour! I agree about a possible Austrian origin.

Great hats today Mayser and RLK! Glad to see such nice old hats going to people who will preserve and appreciate them.

Cool old velour... not related to Alexander's apparently (began in the Bronx).

J. Hückel´s Söhne, Seiden Zylinder, size 58cm, very good condition, probably 1930s. It came from a Czech Republic source. More details in the German - Austrian and Topper threads.

Thanks guys! I had never heard much of "Royal Stetson DeLuxe" so I couldn't resist. Hard to tell much of a difference between this grade of felt and "Royal DeLuxe" but I love the hat!

When vacuuming the floor of my... office/man cave, I found this pin. I don't recall seeing it in Joshua classifieds post selling the Biltmore. Since I only own 1 Biltmore, this must have come from him so thank you Joshua!
