Wore my Hills Hat Panama that sits on the Yamaha piano...... Went into the garage trying to find my blasted Chinese Christy's Top Hat clone, couldn't find it. Probably should forget about it and buy the 'real' one.- Bertie.Wooster

The company is not defined but most highly likely to be Olney. As it mentions that it is in Luton, Bedfordshire and I believe Olney made hats for Harrow. It's a 1952 short film but it shows you that whole process.- Bertie.Wooster

Hat manufacturing equipment sales
I am interested in making small batches of boaters myself with my own design as it breaks my heart as some manufacturers don't get the dimensions of a boater correctly. I have watched plenty of manufacturing videos by Olney and Crofut-Knapp. I get an idea now. Where could I buy the straw...- Bertie.Wooster

Boaters these days
Hello fedoralounge, I am a boater/skimmer enthusiast and a basic historian on them. These are the things I have noticed. All British-company boaters are actually identical? I've seen Olney, Gamble & Gunn, even Lock & Co's black band boaters look virtually the same. Are they re-named or...- Bertie.Wooster
