Hello. I’m trying to date this hat. What I know is Frank Olive was a millinery designer in NYC and Lillian Rubin was a chain of upscale women’s dress shops. My guess is the hat is ftom the 80s.
Any ideas? Thanks
Hi, Belfastboy. Yes I have read a bit about Frank Olive, the millinery designer, who made hats for the women’s clothing stores, Lillian Rubin. I was hoping to date the hat, maybe from the design on the label. Thanks for the tip on cleaning the wool.
Hello. I’m somewhat intimidated by the Fedora Lounge forum as I can never find what I’m looking for, I’m sure it is operator error on my part, and there is so much knowledge and expertise here that I’m somewhat overwhelmed.
So charging ahead I have a couple of questions. First I’d like to learn...

Hi, thanks for your reply. So "hand blocked" only applies to felt hats? I purchased a straw hat and the seller said it was hand blocked. I love the hat and didn't really care if it was hand blocked or not then started wondering about the term.
Hi, Im embarrassed to admit I have no idea how to use a forum. I posted a question earlier this morning and it looks as if you might've replied but if so I cant find it.
