Hats, what is the color on that ribbon? In the first photo, it almost looks purple.

Nice Resistol today, Mark (and I detect the beginnings of some new facial hair?).

Yep. Participating in Movember.
I skipped last year, but usually participate. Helps me fit in around the office as well since I'm one of the few typically clean-shaven guys in my area.

Good morning, mine Fruno! It's a dark, match-to-the-felt brown. The moire pattern is even more distracting on a larger screen. Your D'Aquino rocks!!

 

[Panadora]

Panadora, that's a magnificent lid! What is it?

Sorry, that's my Tardy 25

 

[hatsRme]

SUPER lid, Panadora! Easy to change the oil on the engine behind you!

Really nice. I like your color choice of contrasting ribbon. Whats the hat color?

Chamuco that's one of the nicest new Milans I've seen! Never the same weave as the old days, but the color, shape, ribbon color; EVERYTHING is perfect!!

Thank you, hats!

Gotta say that's a new one on me. Looks good, though. Interesting pic...

I have a questioned fueled by my analytical personality.... How are you guys establishing dates for your vintage hats? What is it that tells you it is "early 50's, 60's.. Etc"? I have an aged Adams, but can't seem to find any date information on it. In fact, even my newer hats that were purchased by me are lacking any sort of date stamp.

Dating hats to the exact year can be difficult for sure, but there are clues that can get you in the ball park at least. There's a thread on this site just for Adam hats. It's a great resource . I don't have anywhere near the hat knowledge that many of the folks on this forum have ,but I do have several Adam hats. Post a picture of the outside and inside and I'm sure you will get lots of replies.
Here's a place to start. Liner logos are a great way to date the Adam.

Panadora – Beautiful hat. Nice ribbon-felt color combination.

So that’s a new Strat. It looks awesome, Historyteach.

Strapped – Beautiful Resistol.

Esther - Darn right Western (US) of you. I like that coffee color.

Cool hat, Trench. Haven’t seen one of those recently.

David – Is that a mint green color? Sharp.

Fruno – Love those colors.

HatsRme – That’s a special hat. Very nice.

Knotten – Beautiful hat… SNOW!!! Yikes.

Chamuco – That’s a beautiful straw hat. Love it.

Hato – Beautiful hat AND tie. It’s a Tilden? Vintage?


For me, my no-name (I think it’s a 50’s Dobbs or Knox 20).

You can also check older advertisements and newspapers if you have a price and a model.

I know where that store is (or used to be). Lived in Florence for 3 years.

Do you have a date on that hat, Alan? The red tag I understand is later (40's). I have a similar one, but with a different sweat band. That one looks amazing.
