Nice Adam. I dig that sweat and those vents.
VERY sharp, Joe!!!
Thanks guys…. The ultra lightweight felt and vents make it very useful here in South Florida.Nice Adam. I dig that sweat and those vents.
Thank you Robert. Adam hats as a manufacturer employed a DTC marketing strategy via their own chain of Adam Hats stores…. They were generally a popular price brand.. however they made very high quality hats with excellent style. From what I saw… the time line was a bit muDey. But it does appear Miller Bros did in fact purchase the manufacturing and wholesale segments of Adam Hats in the mid 1950s if not the brand itself. Today the former Dallas area Adam Hats factory has been converted into Adam Hats Apartments.That Adam Hat really looks the executive of it's name, an equisite hat indeed.
It's a good number of years since I visited the US, I do have recollections, I think, of Adam Hat stores, (old age & amnesia are common bedfellows.) Tell me Joe, was there a tie in between Adam Hats and Miller Bros?

Our fickle weather continues, wind, rain, sunshine. Today we are blessed with the latter. Tina and I have some special shopping to do today, hopefully the rain will hold off, all I have to defend myself against nature is an umbrella!
That blue Gannon is a stunner!Good morning. My dog soirée was under the brim of a Gannon Wanderer.

Home for some coffee I changed to a Stetson Bantam. My hands warmed up in the 48'f (9'c) temps.

Off to the hardware store in a Gannon Wanderer (bone hued felt). I am hoping that this project will only require one trip. We will see.

John Lofgren Monkey Boots Shinki Horsebuttt - $1,136 The classic monkey boot silhouette in an incredibly rich Shinki russet horse leather.
Grant Stone Diesel Boot Dark Olive Chromexcel - $395 Goodyear welted, Horween Chromexcel, classic good looks.
Schott 568 Vandals Jacket - $1,250 The classic Perfecto motorcycle jacket, in a very special limited-edition Schott double rider style. Great all round shape and sharp look, Rick.Nice little mystery Stetson Royal today ( no liner or tags) Does have a size tag that I believe puts it from the 60s. 2-1/4 brim with wide grosgrain edge binding. Just about my favorite size dress hat. Nice lightweight medium grey felt with vented sweatband. Soft hand and wears really well. Decent warm weather hat. Ive been thinking of leaving it without liner and adding some decorative vent holes. ( its mine and I can do what I want! lol)

SUPER-sharp, Daniele!!!Here we are with a "modern" Borsalino.
View attachment 734933
A "Mascotte" made specifically for Radiconcini, Rome.
View attachment 734934
The hat was made of superb felt, finished with a short, shiny fur. The felt is soft and very malleable.
View attachment 734935
Strange to say, it's a true size 6 1/2, which actually corresponds to a 60 cm or 7 1/2 in the USA.
From this, I deduce that it was produced for some "modern" tourist visiting Rome.

Given the Borsalino production, which is often discussed here, this is an example of an excellent hat made in years that many consider mediocre at Borsalino Giuseppe company

This is a new addition to the collection that deserved to be included.
Many compliments to all of you who amaze me every day with excellent hats.
Thank you Mark.SUPER-sharp, Daniele!!!
