Post New Hats Here!

Nice finds today Jack and Alan!

These are three hats I picked up at an auction over the weekend. Moth bitten and sized to fit my wife or daughter. At $30 total I can use the boxes and they can wear the hats.

Nice hats for $30 measely bucks, Bob!!!

Portis "The New Slant". Stevens box.

Dobbs "Black TAR" (OK ... I named it that). Original box.

The Model Clothing building is still there, but I think the business closed in the 1970s (after nearly 100 years).

Mallory "Country Club". Lee Adventure box.

I want to see some of that "Youthful Smartness" showing up from wearing that Mallory!

I'd look a bit of a youthful idiot if I wore it as it's too small for me.

Just make 'em think it's a Pork Pie & your beard will look bigger too.

Portis "The New Slant". Stevens box.

What a nice crown crease on that Portis.

What a nice crown crease on that Portis.

Thanks Bob! (Although I had very little to do with it)

Man, that Mallory and Portis are fantastic hats.
are they moth riddled or in pretty good shape ?

Moth riddled, sadly.

Portis "The New Slant". Stevens box.

Very nice Portis Bob. I think it is older than my New Slant, same overall features, different crease and unlined. You will like this one.

Thanks Red! I just wish it fit me.

Gärner Hüte Wien "Record" Manufactured by J. Heinr. Ita Wien, 59cm, Real Fur Felt probably 1930s or 1940s. I assume Gärner Hüte Wien is the same as Gärner Wien who also made their own hats. I have an earlier Gärner Wien Wool Stiff Felt. The paper label has a "U.F." which doesn't point to J. Heinr. Ita Wien so could be a Gärner Hüte Wien label. I couldn't find any company that matches those initials. The "F" could be Fabrik (Factory) but no guess yet regarding the "U". I really like form of this one and also the ribbon with + bow design.

Just arrived!
My new Borsalino linen 8/4 cap (oatmeal).
Other than needing a little steaming to smooth the shipping wrinkles, I like it!

I took a gamble on a modern Milan Stratoliner. Pretty good quality, a little big, as my noggin runs between 7-3/8 and 7-1/2, so this is expected. But I really like the hat. This is the sand color and I like that a lot, too. I got this from ebay, but through fellow FL'r Mike @Monavillecowboy . This was the best price I've seen, so if you guys are thinking about one of these you might give Mike a look-see. Hot as Haiti outside, on the way to 107F degrees here, again. I might just take this to my niece's wedding.

First shot is for Bob / @Bob Roberts , who likes the brim up sometimes.

Next up is my new vintage Borsalino Parabuntal straw. I was thinking on taking this to my niece's wedding, but my family can be a little rough so I may leave this beauty safe at home. Nothing is as light as this parabuntal straw. Lighter than a feather or a tissue, this feels like it might just float away. I wouldn't wear it on a windy day unless it was glued on tight. Color is off in these pics. It's actually more like the ebay pics which I'll include at the end (just one....)

Looking at the pics, this hat is even darker, golden brown than even the last ebay pic. Excellent straw!

That's a nice looking cap. It'd be perfect for the hot weather down here.
