What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[FedOregon]

Another exceptional hat Moon! It even looks light and comfortable in the photos. And it hails from FedOregon and my neck of the woods. Found a website with a mention of the Rosenblatt Department store. Out of business for a long time.

That's the same site I reviewed, Red, as I had never heard of Rosenblatts before.... I saw another mention of Rosenblatts/Klopfenstein's which leads me to believe that at some point Klopfensteins took over Rosenblatts. I do recall Klopfensteins when I first moved to the Portland area in about 1986.

It is indeed super!! Looking more chipper every day! That is great.

Thanks, Red! I can't wait until TOMORROW!!

I concur. I remember Klopfensteins advertisements. Never been into the store, but the name is still in my mind. I even remember buying clothes in the Gay Blade!!

Thanks, man! I've been wearing this one for almost two weeks straight -- my other lids are getting lonely. I've been rehearsing how to ask my wife for permission to buy a cap from Damian... Any suggestions??

Married over 37 years now, I can tell you it's much easier to ask forgiveness, Blue!

Not 100% on the date , Jim. But brim width on this one is wider than later versions that I've seen. It has an unreeded sweat. The Logos and the way they are printed on the felt as well as the sweat. The Hatted Professor page has a lot of good info for dating Dobbs. This one could be early 50's but I would guess no later than that.

OK, going back and reviewing mine, the re-order tags are 1950s, and the Game Bird I purchased at the same time has an OPS Label ('51 - '53). Since it appears both my GB and CC were purchased t the same time from the same store, I can narrow mine down to those three years. My CC also has a 2 3/4" brim.

I think I'll go put it on for Saturday errands. It's going to be in the 60s today - perfect for an unlined hat.

Gotta love those OPS labels! They sure help a lot with dating these old hats. Does your CC have a gold Dobbs coach on the sweat logo?

Very nice! I'd love to see a side shot of the bow treatment of your The Eddie.

Here you go

Aah! That's the stuff!

Robert, this one has the Hankchif felt logo.

Oh! That's interesting. Does it say "Cross Country " on it? I have a Hankachif Dobbs that is Identical to a Westward but doesn't say Westward anywhere on it.

Fantastic Lid Harv! Love the brim swoop!

Thank you sir!

 

[Redfokker]

Thanks , Red. It's been feeding the hungry moths for many years!

It looks like the little buggers must have been starving! This hat looks really great to me!

 

[Redfokker]

Thanks, Red! I can't wait until TOMORROW!!

Me too. SWMBO let me take the Olcott out of the box and put it on my hat stand today. I can at least ogle it for a day!

Just perfect Jim!! It is so soft that when you blow your schnoz on that Hankerchif it doesn't get all red and irritated.

Merry Saturday.

Today's hat is a LEGITIMATELY accidental purchase (this moron screwed up a "buy now" on Goodwill. Don't ask...). I tried to weasel out of it, but they weren't buying. So... $25 after shipping. But, I do not wear a size 7.

In any event... I found this (what I reckon to be late '50s or early' 60s [haven't done the research on tag, liner tip, etc. yet]) Royal DeLuxe in the box I received Wednesday. Still has the original price tag.

After a gentle sponging of a stain that I originally feared was a felt tear and a night undergoing my patented MATTASTIC[emoji767] stretching process, it is a very comfortable fit. Kind of nifty...

Marvelous hats out there today. Have a great day.

See ... it was meant to be.
