What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Fall Harvest While our farmers are preoccupied with the harvest this Autumn, I have been busy as well. My luck in finding nice vintage lids that fit my 7-1/2 melon continued yet again this past weekend. Early Saturday morning, with the sun still low in the eastern sky. '40s Stetson... -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Beautiful hats wonderfully worn this weekend, gentlemen! Ale: A rather stark and sterile backdrop to the rich and lush felt of your W&W. I love the photo! Alan: Poignant photos of a memorable time spent with your Dad...and hats. Excellent choices for the weekend by the ocean! David... -

Love the "atmospheric" photo, Jeff! So what did you wear to rehearsal? Stunningly beautiful. Congrats, Perry! Now THAT is an oxymoron...a hard-working Playboy! Looks great, Eric! Effortless swagger. :yo: Fab Forty, Alan. Love that hat! -

Perry: Welcome aboard, matey! randooch: Thank you for the kind words. Lovely Dobbs Twenty. They are among my favorite vintage hats, especially the earlier examples like yours. Ale: Hey, thanks! Never been guilty of such a transgression. ;) Dinerman: Great looking cap which just... -
MILLARD HIRSCH, HATTER "Twenty=Five"
Thanks for your feedback, Brad. This is what I was looking for, namely, a logical and practical explanation for the switch to sewn rear seams. It appears, then, that certain hatters felt that the use of un-reeded sweatbands obviated the need for a sewn rear seam. Clearly, however, there... -
MILLARD HIRSCH, HATTER "Twenty=Five"
Makes sense to me. The hatter probably retained their working methods, tools and equipment, and continued to make hats the way they had for decades, with a nod to the more modern advances deemed fitting and appropriate. I apologize if this has been discussed elsewhere previously, but I am... -
MILLARD HIRSCH, HATTER "Twenty=Five"
Thanks for your feedback, D'man, and you beat me to the punch, but that is what I get for working on my replies while concurrently taking care of other tasks. When I first received the hat I was somewhat puzzled by the anachronism in its style and construction. If not for the taped rear seam... -
MILLARD HIRSCH, HATTER "Twenty=Five"
As far as I can tell, the mark around the crown was a result of the hat being improperly stored, with other hats placed on top of it, for a long period of time. The mark is most distinct at the front, fading to the rear, and is absent at the very back of the crown. I do not believe it has ever... -

Great to see you posting again, Dennis! Surmised that you were busy with your work, and when your work is also your passion it does not get any better. Your beautiful hats are a testament to that! :cheers1: AL -
MILLARD HIRSCH, HATTER "Twenty=Five"
My sincere thanks to all, gentlemen, for your kind words! Ale: The crown is certainly not stingy! HatsEnough: Thanks, and I agree. $25 would have been a substantial chunk of change back in the day, and for the small hatters they must have felt absolutely confident in the quality of... -

Weekend Hats Saturday out and about. Visiting some of our favorite antique shops around town. '40s Stetson Whippet. A rare find. Circa 1900-1930s pond yacht in wonderful condition. Improperly rigged, but with original sails, rigging and fabulous, early Braine Gear. Enjoying a...
