Post New Hats Here!

[Blare]

Two nice Borsalinos, Joe. Congrats.

Thanks Steve

This one arrived today thanks to @deadlyhandsome. Thank you so much Brent.
Coincidentally, it looks very much like the two Joe @Blare posted today.
Borsalino exstra exstra superiore "The Rollup". Super soft, thin, malleable felt. I thought it was going to be a brims up lid, but after some steam, it's definitely a brim down hat.

I thought so, but sounded like two

Gotcha... the color did shift in some of the photos. Now if you saw the before.... definitely looks like different hats

[mayserwegener]

Wegener "Em / 7", 58cm, Brim 2 1/4 inches, Crown Open 5 1/2 inches, 3.00 ounces, NOS condition, possibly 1950s. The greenish blue felt is very light weight and pliable. "Em / 7" might be related to the felt weight. The bow design, form and dimensions are very similar to some later 1930s and early 1940s German market hats.

Open Crown

Hut - Braun, Peter Braun (est. 1598) is still in business but not at the address on the hat (Bahnhofstr. 16.) which adds mystery to the dating. I will have to see if I can find why this is the case.

The shape, ribbon, and colour are very eye catching, Steve. It definitely has a 30s vibe to it. Typical of Wegener to name the colour after a German town.

This one definitely has the densest felt.
I like it very much!

Steve, Thank you! It's possibly older. Yes Wegener often uses names of towns and regions for their colors.

Akubras have some of the densest felt out there.
I like the homage this one pays to hats of yore with its shape, thin ribbon, and bow flow on the brim.
Nice catch, Dave.

Dobbs Twenty - Navy (1950s)

Dobbs Twenty - Navy (1950s)
5 1/2 crown
1 7/8 matching grosgrain ribbon
2 inch brim with guild edge (with stitching)

When I opened the box from Jared I could see right away this was a special one. The blue felt almost seemed to glow as I pulled it from the box. (Maybe an angel choir in the background). Haha. Seriously though it is one beautiful hat in a wonderful dark blue color in a short brim style that I really enjoy wearing. Being a Dobbs Twenty I knew it would likely have a Guild Edge Brim (Dobbs version of Cavanagh Edge). At first glance though it appeared it was a beautifully done over welt. I then looked at the sweatband and saw the Guild Edge stamp. As I inspected more closely it appears the brim is a Cavanagh edge... with some small stitches around the top border of the Cavanagh edge. This stitching does not go all the way through the brim and appears it may be cosmetic. I have owned several Cavanagh edge hats and haven’t come across any with this type of stitching. Not sure if anyone else has seen them. Based on the manufacturing tag I’m thinking 1950s on this one. The sweatband features the Leisure Flex design which you can see some of in the manufacturing tag photo. The generous 5 1/2 crown and 2 inch brim Create a wonderful profile. And I just love the blue felt and ribbon. I am very grateful to Jared for this wonderful piece. Hats off to you sir... or hats on in this case!!
