Brown Portis “Escort” Royal quality homburg with Swansback Finish. Size 7 US with a wonderfully supple thin and wide leather sweatband with a rolled edge. I’ve always loved their “Typically American” slogan.

Yo are right, Joe, a great color on that hat.

I’ve always liked this liner. Nice hat with a 5-5 ⅛” open crown and 2 1/3” bound edge brim.

My Portis Sterling Quality made for Fields Clothing Co. in Maryville, MO. The plastic tip liner suggests 1950s or 1960s but I'm no expert so please let me know if you have a more accurate timeframe.

Nice pick-up, Jeff! If you get a chance, please post some pictures, especially of any inner tags.

Literally the exact same as you posted, except these differences. Deciding what I want to do with it now. Leave open crown or bash away? Decisions, decisions.

Also, interesting fact I found, Portis is not the family's original name. It was changed to Portis by the brothers' father when he emigrated from Lithuania to the US.
