Bowler Hat Differences

[deadlyhandsome]

By the way. I think it’s awesome that your profile pic is Arthur Hastings haha. I’m a huge Poirot fan!

I love David Suchet and Hugh Fraser. Of all the versions of Poirot that series is by far my favorite. I‘ve always preferred Hastings’ style over Poirot’s.

Here’s a few photos from which you can choose. I’m not sure if you’ve already sent me a link to your website. Please do if you haven’t. Thank you for making me feel good about my purchase! Not too many fedora, bowler, homburg, etc... wearers where I’m from, so this love of hats, especially beautiful vintage ones, is truly a personal little obsession lol. It’s nice to come on here and see all the amazing hats and enthusiasts. It’s nice to know there are others ... like me. lol

Thank you for taking the additional photos! Looks great!

Oh absolutely. Love the tweeds and fedoras that Hastings was always wearing. And, yeah there’s no other Poirot that compares

I have a couple of bowlers...one is a stiff felt Dunlop that I had a new sweat band installed in a couple of years ago. The old Dunlop is circa 1915 and still had the original leather sweat band and liner. I took it to Peter Bros Hats in Fort Worth to have it re banded and it's got another 100 years in it now.

My other bowler is an old Stetson. Not as old as the Dunlop but a vintage/antique hat as well, original all the way and still wearable.
Both are size 7 1/2 and run true to size.

Great finds!! Especially at a size 7 1/2
