Dunlap Supreme Space/Weight

This Dunlap Supreme Space/weight As it’s name suggests has a rather light weight thin felt. This one has a stingy overwelt brim at 1 1/2 inch and a 4 1/2 crown as bashed. It does not have the neato Dunlap/Champ Space/Weight liner or pin... nor do I think it ever did. The liner is glued in.. and there is no manufacturing tags I can find underneath the sweat or liner other than a hand written 8 on the felt. It has no size tag... but measures out and fits right at a 7 1/8. It has a single sided bow which I think I had only found on one other of my hats. I’m sure it was a cost cutting measure but it Makes a sleek one piece look.

I received this hat a couple months back.. but did not post it here at the time as it arrived with a tear in the back of the crown and wanted to attempt a repair on it. I think it came out fairly well

Been a long time since I've found a hat in one of the "big city" thrifts. Of course it doesn't fit me, but I'll find it a new home. For $7.00 I didn't leave it there.

Seems to go well with my dirty truck though.

Shudde Bros.

No labels (size or otherwise) under the sweat / liner.

Now it's in the freezer and will see a naphtha bath later.

Please let me know if you ever find vintage ribbon like that.

I think you would just have to have two separate paces and combine them and pleat them yourself. I'm gonna try it !!

Wow, didn't know Dunlap made a Space Weight, thought that was a Champ thing. Very interesting. How is the felt on that one. My Dunlap Twenty is one of my softest felts.

Hey Tim.. I believe at this point in time Dunlap and Champ were virtually one and the same. When it came to the cool Space/Weight Liner they are identical except for the Champ or Dunlap name.

The felt on this is actually very nice. It is thin and light. And the texture is quite velvety even though it is a very short flat finish.

I believe I have seen some space/weight hats with wider brims and Cav edge and such. I’m assuming this one is a very late 60’s considering the short brim and cost cutting things like glued in liner. But the felt is still good quality.

Nice find Bob. What size is it ?

7-5/8" x 6-3/8" ... so, size 7 to 7-1/8 range.

Good get Bob! Don't recall finding one in my size below 20 bucks..

It is good to see another Shudde. It will be a great hat if it is anything like mine.

...and it does go well with your truck. Reminds me of just how my father-in-law used to carry his.

Shoot, I already used the Quagmire meme earlier today for your Gorasgus. Shot my wa... err, never mind.

Nice one, B! That pin sort of bears a similar resemblance. Pairs well with the jacket too.

True. Love to see what you come up with. The original is similar to that.

Worth it!!! Congrats Bowen!

Wow, that’s an amazing find, B. I don’t think anyone will fault you for falling off the wagon for that hat...”hat” doesn’t seem descriptive enough for that beauty!

"Wiener Mode (Viennese Fashion)", measures 58 cm, Crown Open 6 inches, Brim 2 inches, Back Bow, possibly 1930s. This one has has some major insect damage and wear issues but still interesting. There isn't a paper label and I can only make out "Wiener Mode (Viennese Fashion) on the liner. The Velour has a longer nap but not quite Soleil. The Velour has a vibrant color with high gloss and easily dry creases.

"Wiener Mode" is barely visible at the bottom. Looks like an eagle but can't make out the crest. Any ideas? I will see if I can come up with a better photo.

Open Crown

Natural Light

You bet @rclark.
I’ve been waiting for a sunny day for pics that are representative of this hat so i could put it in the 100 thread, but not to be. I will though.
So here’s a few upon arrival and opening. What’s really impressive to me is the pristine case. Seems tough to find that.
