Ancestors' hats? Help?

[FedoraFan112390]

Can someone give me what they believe are the dimensions/brands/brim sizes of the following hats:

Great-grandpa, 1945:

Great-uncle (the guy on the left in the first pic), 1945:

Great-grandpa, 1920s? 1930s?:

I don't know, but I want the one in the third pic!

They could be any of countless types of hats from the period - 5 1/2 to 6" crowns, 2 1/2"+ brims. The one in the second photo appears much like a 50s Stetson 3X I have.

Poke around on the What Hat Are You Wearing Today thread for a while. You will see many similar hats worn by FL members. It should give you some Ideas. There were so many brands and variations back then, it's nigh impossible to pin anything down specifically.

Are you looking to purchase something similar? What is your goal?

Did you ever find any answers to your questions on Carlson hats?

I want the one in the third photograph, as well. Yowza!
I haven't seen many like it anywhere anytime.

It's not really possible to tell how tall a hat would be open crown without seeing it bashed from above, but I would guess that even with a very shallow top-crease that hat would have to be at least close to six inches tall unbashed, and the brim would have to be in the 2.75" width range.
