Any ideas on dating these?

You go both of these for $6.00 each? Amazing. :eusa_clap

 

[Dinerman]

That would explain the cloth sweatband. I've not seen any comments on quality of the Worth. I wonder where they fit in the pecking order. I suspect the silence on their quality is my answer.

Worth and Worth is (and was) very highly regarded.
Take a look at their website, and what their hats sell for.

The Borsalino/Mossant auction package arrived today from France. Here is what's inside:

30's Borsalino

and the 30's Mossant

Awww, Garrett, great job!

Great older Borsalino example -- and a Mossant; I've always wanted one of those.

 

[Tango Yankee]

Wow, Garrett... what a great pair of lids you scored there! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap In theory I thought I had my eBay searches set to do world-wide, but obviously they missed out. I'll have to do some re-calibrating!

Cheers,
Tom

 

[Tango Yankee]

Had three arrive today!

Fortunately, the Spousal Unit wasn't home!

First, the Champ Featherweight that I bought from a first-time seller. The acution ended on the 11th and FedEx delivered it today. I don't think I've had faster service from a seller! :eusa_clap

Next an Adam Executive Quality Homburg.

And last, one that's a bit out of my normal realm what with it being a bit narrow brimmed and all. I just liked it for some reason and went for it. "It" is a Carl Meyer navy blue homburg. Check out the curved brim! It looks better on me in person than in the photo... lol

Cheers,
Tom

 

[HarpPlayerGene]

Tango Yankee; you'd better be glad the gal was out - THREE in one day, huh!?

Too cool.

Champ featherweights are good hats. It seems everybody has one in better shape than the one I have but I love mine anyway.

The Homburgs are super examples. I'll bet with a little steam you could get a slight swoop to the brim on the grey one. The blue one is unique and full of attitude.

Congrats on good finds!

I quiet like the Adam Homburg. Congrats!

Garrett is fastly becoming the top collection on the FL. Way to go on your last score. Wear them well and just remember, I am Jealous.

 

[J.T.Marcus]

Tango Yankee, Looking good again, especially that Champ! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

 

[Mr. Paladin]

Nice hats TY. I really like the Adam homburg!

 

[Tango Yankee]

Many thanks, Gentlemen!

Cheers,
Tom

 

[Tram]

I love the color of the Adam Homburg, very different.

J.T. I like the hat in your new avatar, what is it?

-Cheers

Thank-you. It's a Borsalino "Savoy."

 

[Mr. Paladin]

A black Stetson Temple I picked up at the Garland Outlet today:

 

[J.T.Marcus]

Mr. Palladin, Don't you just love going to the outlet? I only make it about twice a year, now, but my pulse rate goes up as soon as I get within a few blocks of the place, and doesn't go down for at least two hours after I check out.

Looking good in your Temple. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

 

[HarpPlayerGene]

That looks good on you, Mr. P.

Nice library and barrister's cabinet too!

 

[Mr. Paladin]

Thanks gentlemen! The best part about the library is; its where all the cigars live, right alongside the books.

I have read bad reviews about the Temple on the forum but I was pleased with its softness and its tight brim snap at the same time. The color is very even and there is no powder when it is brushed. I would like the crown to be a bit less tapered and a bit higher but "ces la vie"!
