Snagged two good ones tonight!
This is one of them.
I love Adam hats! Especially in great colors like this one.
Never heard of a “Futura”. Have y’all?
Will have to clean the sweat-stain our of the front felt, but otherwise a great late 40s/ early 50s hat in great condition!
A nice keeper in my size.
Nice find Randallhttps://www.ebay.com/itm/133777814868

1940s Dalton. Beautiful shape. I like the wrapped reed, too! View attachment 339402 View attachment 339403 View attachment 339404 View attachment 339405 View attachment 339406 View attachment 339407 View attachment 339408 View attachment 339409
Thanks, Randall!Hope you enjoy it, Doc!
Like I said, only let it go because I have too many really great brown fedoras.
Had four and with this sale it leaves me with one Dalton.
Good enough.
As you probably know, with many hats of this time period there was no reed in the material sewn to the leather. They were sewn through the material straight to the felt. I tried sewing it back close to the way it was done.
Turned out okay, I think, other than using thread that was too dark.
Lots of tedious work, that.
Glad it’s going to find a spot in a very nice, large collection owned by a really good dude!
Very nice, both of them, Max. I really like the shape of the Dalton, but the Stetson has that wonderful heather felt.Stetson Custom V. I love that heathery look, and got it for $150...

Another nice find, Max. On the two Gelot hats I've found I wasn't all that impressed with their finishes. The felt is great, but I found the finishing disappointing. Looks better on this one.
Harrods brown bowler
Great find, Max. These Harrods hats have some quality to them.
