Had to get scratch an itch and get me a new Panama Monticristi from Optimo. Feels like a fine silk cloth ...light as air. I love this hat!

Beautiful.

Janyška "Praga", 58cm, NOS condition, probably late 1930s to later 1940s. The felt easily dry creases and the hat has a very nice overall form. This one is from my May 2016 Czech find.

Front of Sweatband

Original Paper Size Tag, Notice UK/English Sizing

Open Crown

Natural Light

Josef Mauerer Hutfabrikant Wien, ~ 58cm, probably 1930s. This is a very high quality Stiff Felt. The liner and logo are really fantastic.

WHAT? Is it just me, or should not this hat get an award for "liner of the year"? Another GEM being shown here. My lord, please PLEASE find something this nice for me in a 7 1/2 LO.....my Husband would LOVE a hat like this.

Some day I will have to make my way over to Optimo hats. I think I am about a five hour drive from them? I just may be able to barter some Sardines and Cookies for a "discount" on one of their hats? Well...you never know, right? Hahahaha!

I posted this one yesterday and after attempting an edit, I inadvertently deleted it. Apologies to moe and Joao. Thanks for the comments. I came across this and even though not my size, I've had some luck finding some 7 1/4 hats that fit. Not so with this one. It was not an OFAS find and I couldn't get measurement questions answered. I had fleeting thoughts of a stretch (insert FL members screams of NOOOOOOO) but decided against it. Always wanted a 100 anything, now I have it and someone else probably will before long. (insert Bama crying like a baby here) The hat appears unworn and has the thinnest most dense felt I have ever handled. Not a flaw that I can find and the case is in good shape and still has the key, even the plastic bag that covered the hat.

I particularly like the Cavanagh ... gorgeous
and most likely early 60s though that tip text did start showing up in the late 50s ... so could be late 50s as well

great snags my friend ... just beautiful
