Info about G.R. Dunn & Co. hat
Dating your hat! Hello! Unfortunately, it would seem that in the UK, no one really cares about the historical preservation of information about hatters and tailors; even big names like Montague Burton and George Arthur Dunn are relatively obscure in archives and exhibitions. The British Hat...- The Elizans

Info about G.R. Dunn & Co. hat

Here are some pictures of some G. A. Dunn's in my collection... enjoy! Any questions, ask me. Photos of...- The Elizans

The Open Road Guild
Hi John, I don't think it would've had a liner originally, feels too inexpensive. I've seen similar Stetsons with a fabric sticker in the crown; in England, they did this a lot on entry level hats. Like this Attaboy;- The Elizans

Royal Stetson Open Road, Shuddle Bros. Houston Bought locally from a fancy dress shop that was having a clear out, paid £10 which seems a good price. Basic model, 40's or 50's? Nice contrast between felt and ribbon that didn't really come out in the photo; hat body is kind of pink-brown...- The Elizans

German & Austrian Hutmachers
Dunn/Austrian Velour Thanks for the info Mayserwegener! Size is UK 7 1/8, (US 7 1/4) approx 58.5cm diameter. Liner wise, the leather sweat is definitely an English addition; this is what most 1930's Dunn & Co's have, and I have quite a few! Liner fabric is synthetic, like rayon. it is...- The Elizans

German & Austrian Hutmachers
Dunn & Co Austrian Velour G.A Dunn & Co, British hat maker: hat body is "Austrian Velour” made in Czecho-Slovakia the spelling of which dates it to 1938-39. Lining has typical Piccadilly London address of Dunn & Co so I expect the body was imported into the UK and finished in a typically...- The Elizans

Berg hat Thanks Brad! You're spot on with the Hodshon-Berg thing; I've inspected the sweat and that detail is present along with Made In New York.

The great hatters, by country
A gallery of English hats of the 1930's I am always meaning to create a proper thread to post my research into British hat manufacturers; as yet I have not had time to consolidate my research, so here is a 'gallery' of some of the 1930's hats from my collection. As a tip- James Lock & Co. St...- The Elizans

Giant Pith Helmet Thread of Doom
Beautiful Wolseley Pattern Helmet I'm afraid I don't know much about this hat- I was given it by a neighbour who told me it belonged to her father. I must find out his name, if he was a military man and where/when he served. A beautiful hat with exceptionally well intact original liner. I...- The Elizans

1930's teardrop fedora worn in 1909
Early Fedora? A curious one indeed… I recently bought a hat (below) confused me greatly with regards to its date of manufacture. Indisputably a nice hat, I assumed initially that it was a provincial, own-branded shop hat from the 30’s or 40’s. The felt, leather band (which is the best...- The Elizans
