Superb!! Great find!
Agreed!
Superb!! Great find!
Any idea?
This thread is generally focused on vintage hats from Dobbs & Co. rather than the contemporary hats bearing this name manufactured in Texas by Hatco. Dobbs & Co. ceased making hats sometime around 1970.
Ok, here is a thread for the Dobbs connoisseurs out there.
I just got this one on OFAS. It's a Dobbs Fifth Avenue. It's another one touted as a bowler derby.
Cheers!

Really?
Vintage only?
The opening post doesn't seem to suggest that this is a vintage only thread.
I don't really mean to be an ass, but your response came across as kind of snarky.
yea i'm trying to determine if it is a pre-1970s or post-1970s hat. figured i would post here to get the expert opinions. wearing fedoras is new to me and i am on the steep learning curve. Sounds like the Dobbs Explorer is a recent/modern addition?
Some additional information, I recently purchased this hat from an online auction. It was listed as vintage from the 1960s. I am going to request a refund or store credit from the seller, but want to confirm that this hat was recently manufactured before I do that.
