You and I have had some synchronicity lately. Wear in good health Randy!

 

[Randall Renshaw]

I like that Adam. Very nice.

Love that hat band

Thanks, guys!
Adam hats can’t be beat. Says so right in their hats. “If you’re not first, you’re last!”

Nice Twenty, Don!

Looks like a heck of a hat, Terry.

Thank you Blare! It's just too bad that Beaver Brand went out of business. They made some nice hats.

This hat has been calling to me last few weeks.. decided to pull it out today.. It is one of the few hats in my collection that I have some history on the previous owner. It belonged to a gentleman who was a holocaust survivor… he was a police chief in Poland during WWII and helped countless folks escape. He survived in an attic with just a bible for a year. Spoke 7 languages and lived to be 88 Years old. This was the story given to me by his great granddaughter who sold me the hats some years back.

Thanks Terry. I am honored to own two hats that belonged to this gentleman. This one I’ve kept exactly as he had it styled In this telescope crease. I did give it a good brushing and spiffing up today though.

Nice hat and you wear it well.

How does a hat get that downward swoosh from the brim?

From where the band is....your brim starts to curve downwards.

I love that in a hat.

Thank you Harry. I suspect with this hat…. as It is a size 6 3/4 however it fits a little closer to 7. I believe this gentleman snuggly tugged this hat down over his 6 7/8 to 7 head over the years creating this shape.

The reason why I ask is because I started to notice it in vintage hats.

A while back I watched this video of student in an amateur hat making class and she made a fedora with that swoosh. I want all my hats to do this. LOL

Seems like it must be a distinct look just as much as certain creases.
