Cool hat Michael! I always love seeing it. Is it critiqued in more detail in another thread. I ask because i have one the spitting image but is called “Genuine Bangkor”.

Happy Father’s Day from me and my Bangkor.
Be well. Bowen
Thanks Bowen. I don't think I've posted any detail anywhere, because several hours of internet searching haven't yielded any details. All I could find was the JC Penney's made these from the 30s or 40s into the 60s. A quick look tells me Bangkor might be a similar dead end. I have to say they do look similar in material and construction. I like mine a lot as it's lightweight and has good ventilation. Plus I like the way it looks quite well. Yours looks super too. Any idea who made it?

Thanks,
Michael

Kids and Grandkids came over today with a Father's Day Ice Cream Cake! Also broke out my Kevin McAndrew refurb. Not a very good picture....

Reblocked it and straightened it up all around. Old hat projects can be seen in the background which have since been finished and out of my wife's dining room...

After the refurb with a Cattleman crease and with the addition of a matching color 3/8 thin ribbon with an OR style bow...

Thanks Michael.
I never was able to find out much about mine either. The spelling “Bangkor” always came up Bangkok or Bangor.
The Etsy seller claimed 40s. I’ll have to search back through old pics before the sweat blew out where the maker/store stamp was. They definitely have a nice airy weave pattern i don’t see to often.

Looks like you have an incredible weekend Eric! Nice ride!

I went to the Minneapolis Stone Arch Festival this afternoon. I took my buddies 1940 LaSalle to the festival. What a glorious vehicle.
