Beaitiful boater, Josh!

I've seen Dunlap women's hats with the liner and cloth sweat sewn together as one piece, too.

Very nice!!

Looks great, Josh

Josh, Great find! Very unique!

That hat has obviously taken a lot of burning sun for its previous owner(s). A very beautiful find, Josh

Josh, great boater

Josh - very nice find!

Splendid Josh. Now he is in good hands!

WOW, Thanks so much for all the kind words about my newly acquired Dunlap Boater, Gentlemen!! :yo:

1930's Paragon The "Comfort" Mello-Ease

I just received this one. Unfortunately its a 6 7/8, but it will make a great display piece. Its most definitely a homburg with a short brim and shorter crown. The unreeded sweatband is mostly still attached to the hat.

20's or earlier Triple Ring (beaver designation) Melton. A high quality hat in its day and in a beautiful champagne color. Sadly, the moths decided to give it a Danny Trejo complexion.

I totally understand the temptation... it does look good enough to eat.

Long hairs seem to accumulate more than their share of moth damage. Still, a great find.

Agreed! I had my eye on that one, but decided to lay off. That "triple ring" beaver designation has me wondering now. Garrett, doesn't your brown trimble long hair have that designation as well?
