Nice find, Joe. The Open Road is still one lacking in my collection; it will be remedied soon.

Thanks Stefan. I’m sure I don’t have to tell you. But shoot for older if you can... This 3X knocks the socks off an 80s 6X I have and easily beats a 60s 3X I had.

I’m so glad this beauty finally arrived. Giving me hope for one I’m waiting for! Interesting sweat... I wonder if this was made by Mac Lachlan. Wonderful hat Dave!

Thanks Joe! You may be right. The sweat sure does look like a Maclachlan. I will get some better pics. The reorder tag looks like one I have seen on at least one Maclachlan and the font used in "100% Fur Felt " looks similar to the one used in Air-Vac

Hi
Just bought on Poshmark a New with Tag Schott Trapper Hat. It is Made in USA and Size **L. Fits me perfect. Very warm hat. In Black Color. Quilted inside.

 

[Frunobulax]

Not an every day brand so worth taking a shot at. Penn-Craft bowler in a size 57 or 58. Size tag says 1/8 but given the measurements I believe it was adapted for the European market. so likely an English size 7 1/8. Brim at a good 5cm and the crown about 12cm high. Aside from some foxing on the liner in excellent condition.
More in the bowler hat thread.

Well, here I come all proud of myself for finding this yesterday at a Columbus vintage store, only to find out I showed up at the party wearing the same dress as Stefan.

This'll take some getting used to...

Looking good. Someone must have dumped a lot of Peen Crafts on the market.

Nice! Love the NRA tag too, makes dating easy.

That’s a different look for you, but I’m a big believer in diversity.

They look similar. But not quite the same, but I only have Brent's Maclachlan Air-vac to compare it to.

Lovely homburg, Dave. Certainly looks like it was made in Norwalk.

Thank you! It sure does look like it . What do you think the age is? Late 40s/ early 50s?

But what a dress it is! These vintage hats seem to travel to the market in packs (or flocks?). That wasn't the only thing we brought to the party that's the same, Jim. I got me one of these yesterday:

The hat nozzle arrived today. Works like a charm.

Very cool. Mine is just the hat model. And I love it.

Catalena Hatters. 6 1/2” open crown and 4” raw edge brim. Very firm felt, and some cheesy ribbon and bow work, but the felt is finely pounced and very smooth.

Wow! That's a great hat Brent! I don't think I could get away with a hat that big here in Puritan New England.

Ribbon and bow should be an easy fix. I like it open crown actually; seems to suit it.

 

[deadlyhandsome]

Stetson 3X Beaver Fifteen. It’s a DARK navy blue and the condition is fantastic. The open crown measures approximately 5 1/2 inches and the brim is 2 5/8 inches wide.

This hat is already spoken for.
