Post New Hats Here!

I boxed up most of my straw hats but the weather hasn’t been cooperating for felt.

I don’t ever recall 96 degrees in mid October!

That’s quite a daily swing

Tremendous

Thanks, Joe!

Mallory The Ten in 6 ⅞. From the first several years after Stetson bought them. The colors are a favorite. 2 ¾” raw edge brim.

Must be a good week for Mallory Tens. This one had part of a newspaper under the sweat. Nothing dated but it does have one posting for a 1957 graduate.

It’s amazing to come across one like this. A NOS 1950s Royal De Luxe Open Road. I steamed a first gentle crease into it. Beautiful deep gray color with closely matched ribbon and binding. 2 5/8 brim. Just as good as it gets.

It's a great feeling when you find those gems. Looking good, young man!

Got this little beauty today. Have been wanting this style for years, and soon as l saw it l bought it. An unexpected purchase. It is a really solid hat.

 

[Rmccamey]

That is very nice, I like the simple design. You may have to send me your source!

What does it look like inside the crown?

Tell us more about this hat. I think it looks great.

Very new here and to the world of hats.

This is the $60 Stetson I mentioned picking up that most asked to see.

Mink temple. Don’t know age or anything like that.

Still has the tag and the inspected by sticker.

A week later bought this Brent hat for Montgomery Ward.

@deadlyhandsome and @Rmccamey

It is the sombraro cordobes by the Fernandez Roche company. The quality is very good, a really solid hat. I was very lucky to get it, the owners of the shop (American Tailors) were in Italy and only brought back 6 of these hats. These hats are so striking and special that all sold out almost instantly, and l got the last one. I will be wearing it on Saturday on a nice sunny day to a special event in the park; as you could imagine, it is going to make quite a statement, but l am sure l will thoroughly enjoy wearing it. Life is too short not to do these things.

@Rmccamey Here is the inside of the hat, nothing exciting.


I also bought two other hats, both wonderful Homburgs. The good thing is that they suit me so well. I also tried the bowler hat....it should have worked for my type of face, but this particular bowler just didn't look right (too boxy on the head). The boater hat continues to elude me as well.

Here are my Homburgs:
Akubra Homburg (a decent hat), but not as classy as the Bates. This will get its first outing on Sunday with bowtie and semi formal rig.

The Bates Homburg.
This really looks good on me. A real class act this hat. I will wear it with my fawn Burberry trench with traditional clothing underneath, and l will wear it with my tan overcoats. I might also do it with various sporscoats/trousers in country colours. I expect to wear it a lot.


Trying to find the right type of fedoras too, but it is difficult to find the right type of fedora that makes me feel all warm and happy inside. Tried the Akubra stylemaster too, but it didn't quite suit my look.

I also bought this Montecristi a couple of months ago too. Bought it locally, but they are getting much more difficult to source now. Unable to find the photo, but l will post a link with my hat in it. My article is aimed at laymen.

Nice hats. Can you show us the interior details...and also your bowler. Thanks.

Hat collecting is a marathon. I've been collecting for years and a Boater of my liking still eludes me.

Bowlers take some getting used to for many people, but they are a lot more versatile than they might appear...and they generate a lot of positive comments, too!

Hopkins Panacool Panama. Not sure of the age, but the only ad I could find for it was from 1950.
