Not an every day brand so worth taking a shot at. Penn-Craft bowler in a size 57 or 58. Size tag says 1/8 but given the measurements I believe it was adapted for the European market. so likely an English size 7 1/8. Brim at a good 5cm and the crown about 12cm high. Aside from some foxing on the liner in excellent condition.

Nice find, Joe. The Open Road is still one lacking in my collection; it will be remedied soon.

Thanks Stefan. I’m sure I don’t have to tell you. But shoot for older if you can... This 3X knocks the socks off an 80s 6X I have and easily beats a 60s 3X I had.

I’m so glad this beauty finally arrived. Giving me hope for one I’m waiting for! Interesting sweat... I wonder if this was made by Mac Lachlan. Wonderful hat Dave!

Thanks Joe! You may be right. The sweat sure does look like a Maclachlan. I will get some better pics. The reorder tag looks like one I have seen on at least one Maclachlan and the font used in "100% Fur Felt " looks similar to the one used in Air-Vac

Hi
Just bought on Poshmark a New with Tag Schott Trapper Hat. It is Made in USA and Size XXL. Fits me perfect. Very warm hat. In Black Color. Quilted inside.

Well, here I come all proud of myself for finding this yesterday at a Columbus vintage store, only to find out I showed up at the party wearing the same dress as Stefan.

This'll take some getting used to...

Looking good. Someone must have dumped a lot of Peen Crafts on the market.

That’s a different look for you, but I’m a big believer in diversity.

They look similar. But not quite the same, but I only have Brent's Maclachlan Air-vac to compare it to.

Lovely homburg, Dave. Certainly looks like it was made in Norwalk.

Thank you! It sure does look like it . What do you think the age is? Late 40s/ early 50s?

But what a dress it is! These vintage hats seem to travel to the market in packs (or flocks?). That wasn't the only thing we brought to the party that's the same, Jim. I got me one of these yesterday:

The hat nozzle arrived today. Works like a charm.

Very cool. Mine is just the hat model. And I love it.

Catalena Hatters. 6 1/2” open crown and 4” raw edge brim. Very firm felt, and some cheesy ribbon and bow work, but the felt is finely pounced and very smooth.

Wow! That's a great hat Brent! I don't think I could get away with a hat that big here in Puritan New England.

Ribbon and bow should be an easy fix. I like it open crown actually; seems to suit it.
