Both of those are really nice, Josh. I have quite a few Adams myself and find them to be the equals of other brands.
I think it was extremely cleaver especially for people that wanted a cooler hat but didn't want to pull out the liner. I would be really interested to see pictures of that Playboy.
Here's one from a distance. But I think you can still see that it's mesh.
Josh, please clear your PM inbox.
Oh, and that Mr. Main Street is great!
2 very nice ones there Josh.
Love the old 30's one.
However that Mr Main Street is great, think it's the first one I've seen other than the ad.
Here's my latest one off the 'bay, an Adam Pacemaker. Similar to the Pacesetter, but with slightly shorter brim. Colour is hard to describe, it's in the middle of brown, green and grey.
Thanks, Billy! The 30's one, is most definitely very interesting. I kind of wish that the previous owner didn't use such a tight pinch for so many years, but oh well. It gives the hat some character. The Mr. Main Street is most definitely very cool, just a bit big for my head and not old enough to commit to the pre-1940 collection. One thing that I did notice about this 30's Adam and my 30's Adam homburg is the ribbon and binding material. I am unsure what kind of grosgrain ribbon they used, but it seems that on both of these hats, the ribbon didnt hold up as well as on other vintage manufactures hats. Maybe the ribbon that Adam used had a higher cotton content.
Thought I'd try and post a comparison of the Adam hats I have in the green/brown colour colour sphere...
