yeah, I didn’t think so much about them shrinking, but now that seems quite annoying… I gotta be honest, I’m not much of a vintage hat guy. Vintage anything else? For some reason absolutely, I’m wearing a WW1 Zeppelin jacket right now. But I just can’t see the difference between a stylish hat...
I posted an eBay link, but I’ll post a Google Images search and the listing again. They’re very similar to a western fedora – Images, Listing – it means exactly what it sounds like, an antique, 1930s or 1940s fedora made in Japan. I apologize if that is not quite obvious, but I can’t tell so...
It’s ok, don’t be sorry, if nothing comes up, I’ll just numb myself to the interest like I can always do, they were made there during that time, but as most people seem to think, it’s the size that’s going to make it a rarity
Thank you for the welcome, I have heard people refer to triblies as fedoras before, but I never thought of it like that. I have one homburg, but my parents think it’s still a fedora. May I ask what you mean by the last part though?
I know my size is pretty big, but I plan on trying to find one…...
Oh wooooow, is this competition in the last part? Crazy…
I think that first part makes sense,
But if I wanted to find specifically a Japanese hat from the 30s or 40s, am I out of luck?
Thanks,
Euvoren
Hello,
I hope you are doing well.
I am just curious about this hat I found on eBay, it is an imperial Japanese civilian's hat, and it is similar to a fedora (the hat in question).
Question 1: is this a fedora? or is there a special name for it in Japan? I've seen people calling all types of...
Hi! I could have sword I posted a reply, but I guess something stopped me, thank you for the welcome! And you’re welcome. Yes, I have not learned about even half of the hat names, but I already know more then the average person, I’d say there’s way to many for someone like me to remember, but...
Yeah, I looked it up and there’s about 300k of them left, so I will hurry, but I don’t have a car yet, so I’ll either have to use my dads when he’s not got anywhere to go to, and drive to an assisted living home, or I can get him to drive me and we’ll all play a round or 2, my dad is interested...
Nah, you’re good, honestly I don’t judge anyone, my parents are in their mid 60s, and one of the things on my bucket list is to meet a WW2 Veteran and play Chinese poker with him because I think they’re really cool people. I might be a Generation Z lad, but I really never think of age as...
This is a very sweet post, I appreciate it, and I started at 17 because I always loved antiques and the old days (before 1950, usually the 1940s, or the 1890s for example), but I also love fashion, so fedoras were a pretty good match for me. I actually get anemoia for the 1940s which isn’t...
Alright, good to know, I guess I will try not to over think, profanity should be easy enough, although I couldn’t find a list of rules in my limited search after waking up at literally 4:30 AM due to jet lag, is there one or is it all implied?
My hat size is 7 & 5/8 I believe, I never got...
Eh, I might, usually I get my own point across pretty well without the need to sit down and think a lot, but if I can just avoid crap like that I’d be a happy man. Thank you guys for being so tolerant! It’s highly appreciated.
I actually had that same experience when I was 17. I wanted to wear one, but I was too timid, but my dad was like “I’ll take you to a hat shop and you can buy any one you like”, and I was just stepping on the edge of jumping into the hat world and staying a spectator wishing I had. I can tell...
Hello, Thank you!
I find the first few replies very nice, I can imagine straight off the bat that the people here are in fact informative, helpful, and kind.
Now I’m a little embarrassed to say this, but although I do have a few stingy brims, I prefer wider ones, but the first 2 are from my...
Thank you! I do like the be varied I think, but honestly, it’s hard for me to choose favorites, I’m the same way about music, I have a few favorites from each genre, some more than others
I’m assuming you’re referring to the Scala, I wanted something that with the black wool second in line. If...
