The hard-to-find or unusual Hat Circle

Not sure this fits the bill... the Lounge member I purchased it from said he had a second just like it. Art made some very nice modern homages as well. But here you go - Dunlap duplex, c.1940 with "sizor" adjustable sweatband feature as advertised in the 1938 ad below.

By definition of its sweatband imprint, this one fits better here than anywhere else on the Lounge. Made in the first decade of the 20th century, stock from a long gone Cheyenne, Wyo store. Sunday hat, perhaps?... with silk wrapped underbrim and fancy silk ribbon with tassel. The quality of the felt is spartan.

"By definition". Hahahaha.
You have the most exceptionally beautiful hats, Alan. Wow. Do you think the cork you bought on eBay belongs here?

It's fantastic, Alan, but I wonder what the thinking behind it was.

J.Hückel´s Söhne / Jaques Mayer "Standard" Brim 3 1/2 inches, Crown 6 inches, excellent condition, probably 1930s. This is a collaboration with Jaques / Jacques Mayer Hutfabrik (Hat Factory) Bratislava. I am fairly certain this is a one of kind / one off (at least it is to me).

I really enjoy seeing unique hats. The bad part is that there is a slim to none chance of acquiring one.:)
