No leather jacket, but it's a Dalton, and there's a lamppost with just a hint of the other one.
Such a tease, Jim

Such a tease, Jim
Furthermore, it's not a Lord's Hat. They didn't have a brim binding.
However, it is a great Homburg from one of the finest Manchester hat makers. Congrats on the buy.
I'd say it's from the 1960s.

Thanks! You are correct, I ignored the brim binding and went with Lord's Hat due to the side pinches and no center crease but I was probably being too presumptuous ... it's just one of my many flaws.

Buying the Moores shows you have a good taste in hats, so no flaws there.
Once again, it's a nice buy.
Please post this one in the Great British Hat Makers thread. Including a better photo of the other paper label under the sweatband.

Will do but I don't think the other paper label has any visible markings left on it ... I'll check again and snap another photo if it does.

The Stetson Sovereign, sits perfectly atop of a made to measure suit.
Post it anyway, CR.
Btw, I forgot to say welcome to the Fedora Lounge. My apologies for not doing so earlier.

Thanks Steve, many kind words here. I am definitely learning that my health is still fragile. It is very disappointing - I thought I was stronger than this. Moving out is taking its toll.
But yes, the payoff is Malaysia and Thailand, so I persist…

The hat shape, proportions, trend in color, and little black sweat scream '60s to my eye. Could it be 1950-'60? Maybe. Wear it well and keep stylin'. My long face doesn't support brims that stingy. My humble opinion.

Thank you! I agree with your assessment. The black sweatband, in particular, would make the 60s a really strong possibility. I also have a longish face but I do love wearing the stingy-brims.

Thank you Joe, the Sovereign & suit certainly got a few compliments yesterday, I'm wondering whether to wear it on Sunday. Tina and I will be at a one day festival called: Poole Goes Vintage. https://www.poolegoesvintage.com/ Fingers crossed for some sunshine.
Spectacular!
Let me know what you're looking for and I can have a look in the pile.
Grazie, Daniele.
Beats the KFC Colonel hands down! Superb, Joe.
