Hey Brent, ummmm WOW. That's a really good-looking hat, and it's somehow better because (in my opinion) the colors don't match the style at all. Brown and dark green would be a great, but obvious campaign hat, or hiking hat, but not a fedora. Hummmmmmm. you never know what's next.

Hardly the time of year for velour, but what can you do?
Berry Welstaupe velour in black. Size 57 woth the raw edge brim at 7cm and the crown at 10 at the center dent. Unlined, but it probably did have one in the past. The brand name is French but I suspect the hatbody is likely Austrian in origin, because "Welstaupe" is not a French word, but German and translated as "Catfish". No other label than the size label inside, which does look French. Very high quality velour, which I think is thirties.

Congrats on the CD, Mark. Love the Slouch, but the Boater in the middle is the perfect subtle photo-bomb. What a ribbon, too.Arrived today from One 2 Mini Ranch..........

Early 1950s (?) Resistol "Regent" as delivered (a too small hat in a too small box).

Thanks Alan -- seems like 99% of the hats I buy not knowing the size end up as a size 7-1/8. This hat will make someone very happy.

Staalmeester in grey. Unfortunally the sweatband is in bad condition, so i take it out. I have to replace a new one.
Nevertheless it's a great hat. Bought it for 15 euro.

Boy ... I wish this Mallory Panama fit me. There is so much to like here. The straw color, the two-tone pug, the "texture" in the print on the lower section of the pug, the weave, the condition. Sigh ...

This Stanhope Bros. bowler came along with the above Mallory. It's small, but I was leery of checking behind the sweat. The 7R written on it probably corresponds to a size 7 regular oval as the measurements come close to that size.

Another box had four hats in it. They were packed quite well inside a heavy old Dobbs hat box with lots of padding and a couple of small boxes cut and arranged to stop (or at least slow down) any crushing. Kudos to that auction house.
We'll start with this Lion Hats (a Langenberg brand). It does have some stains or mottling that I hope will clean up.

This fun little straw of unknown make was in the mix. A bit grubby ...
The packing job and nice old Dobbs box mentioned above.

And, what was probably original to the Dobbs box, this lord's hat (my first!) with a Cavanagh Edge. Not willing to check behind the sweat for a tag until I condition it. According to the Hatted Professor this hat is likely from the mid-1930s based on the liner rondel and the "Improved Cavanagh Edge" debossment. Once I can get a look at the factory sticker I'll share it.

I could not wear this hat as it is for "Youthful Smartness" and I am neither . However a great hat for you!!! Interesting bow work on it.
