It had a real punch on imax. My French Grandfather was in Belgium in May 1940 (heavy artillery spotter) but did not get out via Dunkirk but on one of the last trucks across the Meuse before they blew the bridges. He only spoke once or twice about it but mentioned that Stukas were *absolutely*...
Thank you kindly. Funny that I pick up Italian hats in America when I live in Europe..! Will have a look around Alexandria, VA vintage/thrift stores on Saturday for some American hats.

WHat is this???
In Paris for work but have a cousins wedding tomorrow. Staying at a place my parents bought 27 years ago when the area, the Marais in the 4th, was rough. I used to go to a hat shop 30 seconds from their place and talk to the guy but could not afford most of the hats. This is what it used to...
No, I picked it up a couple of months ago for $20. It was in a cattleman crease but reshaped OK, felt is a little thick but holds shape with steam. Brim 2-5/8 bound and thin ribbon, crown at 4-1/2 to pinch. House of Roth-Shire seems to have been a clothing brand until the 70's. My guess is...
