My mystery hat arrived last week, I've finally got pictures. It's a DeSina brand, very high quality wool felt. Semi-modern, possbily as early as 80's. It's a perfect off-white color; it would go great with a linen suit. I also think it would make a great alternative to a panama during the summer, due to it's color (I wear felts in summer anyway).
It's got the basic Whippet dimensions: 2 1/2 in. brim, 4 1/2 in. crown. A lovely ribon treatment complete with a fake wind trolley. This company really knows it's hats.
The block looks like it was stovepiped at one point, but some taper has occured. It's not bad, and I was able to get rid of most of it.
There is some staining on the front of the crown.
