What a beautiful hat Panos. These Brock hats seem very special. The only others I think I’ve seen were in Eric’s @Short Balding Guy amazing collection

Gorgeous hat Panos. That has to be the worlds only surviving loden Brock hat. What a treasure. Aren't the liner and sweat markings exquisite. Thanks for sharing this special hat.

Thanks for the hat nod sir. Here is a link, https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/brock-hats.91490/, where I have posted some of the hats I picked up sold at Hurleys that were mostly made in the Wolthausen Hat factory in Canada. I need to post more of those gorgeous hats.

BTW: Today I wore an unlined ( pre 1940's) Borsolino sold at Hurley'.s

Fun to read and visit the posts on this thread.

Cheers, Eric -

Thanks for sharing the thread… some very cool Brock advertisements and of course your amazing Brock collection. I’ve thought this Borsalino of yours has many similar Brock cues.

What a beautiful hat. There’s a delicacy to its appearance that adds distinction and sophistication. The condition is equally perfect. Wow, just wow!

Panos, Super find! It's great to see the Speciality finish and the melange of colors. Also the fantastic components.

Eric, This is a great find! It's very difficult to find a pre 1940 Borsalino in NOS condition. Overall fantastic!

Unfortunately I don't have many non-EU pre-war hats in special finishes. Here is another one. Lewis in mixed navy. Unlike the others the hair on this one are trimmed.

 

[Mean Eyed Matt]

What a cool interieur on that one, Panos!

 

[deadlyhandsome]

Such a beautiful color, texture, and shape. The liner is one of the best I’ve ever seen: so beautiful!

If you don’t add it to the Lovey Liners thread I’ll take a screen shot and add it. That liner is worthy of that hat!

Agreed…. That one is the definition of Lovely Liner

Thanks Matt!! I like the felt even more though

Thank you Brent! I am not sure I follow that thread (I'll search for it), so please feel free to post it there too (or anywhere you think it might fit).

The Packard Hat “Ambassador”. The box itself has a copyright year of 1931 noted.

The Packard Hat. This is not my hat, but I thought it was worth sharing.

Superb find, Panos. Love everything about it. The liner is a standout one for sure.
