Great find, Marcel. Has some age to it I'd say. Still has the basting stitches, too.

Dobbs Golden Coach, my guess is from sometime in the 80s. My sixth felt bowler but my first black one.

Thanks Steve, what age do you think? And what do you mean with basting stitches, the stitch on the bow?

As suspected this is a stunner of a hat, Marcel. Quite an early one too by the looks of it. Forties I think, might even be late thirties.

Congrats - nice! I'm a long oval too, and I'm used to having to steam my hats into a longer shape to fit my head. Then behold - I recently stumbled onto an old extra long oval that fit so nicely I could almost hear angels sing. Those hats are magical for those of us with long noggins. I'll say it again - The hat looks great!
Ja, basting stitches are the pre stitches put in place to set the ribbon and bow. They're meant to be removed once the "true" stitches are set.
Stefan has more or less nailed the time frame. Daniele can hopefully help place it more precisely.

Love this style. Mid-width (for a western) bound brim and a grosgrain ribbon with a fedora type bow. A great find.

Thank you Steve! Would you remove those stitches or let it as it is right now?

Super Barbisio in black.
Label behind the sweatband and also some plastic cover behind the sweatband!
Really beautiful felt, but a little stiffer.

Barbisio in brown. There was something of a label behind the sweatband, but the lining is glued on it.
