English Hat with old Hatters Union Label

[PADDY]

Beautiful unlined fair season hat, unlined with concentric vent holes. Good condition in gun metal blue / grey with blue ribbon. Still has original old British Union Tag!! I know..!! Lovely soft good condition sweat band in blue/grey leather. She's a real vintage beaut of mine in UK 7 / US 7 1/8.

Cool, Paddy. It's kinda a British variation on a Dobbs Cross Country/Stetson Playboy theme, or vice-versa. Similar overall vibe, at any rate.

It's telling, I think, that these days such a hat would be placed in the "dress" category, whereas when it was new it was deemed "casual."

Me too.

Any guesses when it was made, Paddy?
