Cool. No massive hat collection would be complete without a silver 1950s milan. But let's be Frank...

Knice Knox!I never thought I would ... but I'm loving this style straw.
In a Felt I would never wear this style... but there is something about it in a straw that I feel.
here's my Knox
The hat is in crazy good condition
Why anyone would write their name over a crest is beyond me.. but anyway

My "whipped" Whippet arrived. At least I can say I owned one...
I'm guessing this is '50s, but I'll let others who know better correct me if necessary.
Looks like it might have been from Harry Coffee's clothing store in Fresno or Bakersfield, CA.
Not my size so I'll probably put it up on the 'Bay at some point for someone who needs a project.

Pedigreed no less. Is this a Beaver Hats brand? Seem to be similarities with the Beaver label.

Nice tall crown on that Derby. Looks to be in excellent shape for being a thrift store find. You sure come up with the gold in your digging!A local find from today.

The only ID and I haven't found anything mentioning it yet, except that there was a Willner Bros clothing store that opened in Des Moines Iowa in 1906.

Those look great! I especially like the Adam Porkpie Boater, and I normally don't go in for boaters.Ok, Ok, here are a few straws I got lately in preparation for the season.....

Thanks Red. These two were vintage store finds, not thrift. Generally the vintage store hats are in better condition, though not always.Sweet find Michael! An interesting stingy for us to enjoy!

well my my my ... if that ain't a beauty...Rick and Moon nailed the color on this, I'm just glad they did.
