Post New Hats Here!

[Héctor Fernández]

Ah, yes! Lol...Thanks!

It's a great looking bowler, Héctor, but I can relate how you must feel when wearing it.

 

[mayserwegener]

Thanks, Steve. It's certainly possible; it does resemble their hats in feel and finish.

Stefan, I couldn't find anything on Overbeck Nürnberg. My guess is that is a made up brand name or a retail location but searches came up empty. I need to do some detail research on 1950 and later German and Austrian Hat Industries so maybe this Fall

Acquired taste? Just put it on your head, pull on your jeans, and pretend you're wearing a fedora! Before you know it, you'll hear, "Nice hat"!

Looks great Hector ! They are definitely an acquired taste, I’ll probably only wear mine for holiday gatherings or special occasions, but everyone needs at least one !!

We don’t all rock a Bowler as well you though Randy......

Just joined and never posted any of my hats. Here is my black sheep. Color is eggplant. Need to try and wear this more often, but now I live in Texas and it’s always hot.

Nice hat and welcome aboard from a fellow Texan.

I wouldn't count on it for much sun/UV protection.

Boy, that is a loose weave Joe.

Boy, that is a loose weave Joe.

I have a ‘flat cap’ style of about this same weave a picked up a few months back for a buck almost as a joke... cause it looked like an upside down fruit bowl. But I kid you not. when I put it on my head.. in just the slightest breeze how the air comes through those little holes feels like air conditioning. Surprised the heck out of me. I saw this one with that big brim and thought perfect for summer. I put it on and had almost Forgotten how that felt on my head.. and was surprised again for a second.

 

[Hagwood]

Bought this Knox Twenty from @Ethan Douglas. Been looking for a wide brim one and needed a classic light grey with black band, so this was perfect. Great condition and very nice proportions with a Cavanagh Edge. I’m thinking 50’s since it still has the crown height on the tag. Notice the detail on the wind trolley button, never seen that before. Experimented with the brim shape a little.

Wow, can’t say I’ve ever seen a flat cap like that.....

Tim I’m so glad you pulled the trigger on that one. It is absolutely perfect for you. Just a really beautiful hat... and you wear it so well my friend.

After its arrival today and a cleaning and steaming, here’s the late 50s/early 60s Mallory all fixed up and ready to go home with my lucky nephew.
Wish it fit me, but it’s a 1/2 so he’s coming to pick it up tomorrow morning. It’s such a great hat with the proportions, look and feel of an early forties felt body. I’ve never seen an Open Road clone with a Cavanagh edge, or as called on a Mallory, Duplex Edge.

Who wouldn’t love to be getting that hat?
Just a formality: it’s a thin ribbon, but it’s not an Open Road clone. One of the defining characteristics of the OR and clones is narrow brim binding. Personally, I’d take the felted edge over bound any day. That’s really some hat!

The last one I got from @Ivano and probably my favourite one.

The Brock fedora. Unlined and unreeded.

Crown at around 14.5cm and brim just under 6cm. Pensil curl on the back only.

Wind cord and double bow. It has this 30's look

Panos
