Yes 3/8
will probably end up in classifieds


Sent from my space aged handheld communication device and universal translator
At least you rescued it from the "Great Unwashed" out there in Ebay Land. Through the classifieds it will get a proper home with a hat crazy here on the lounge. It probably would be big for me too, otherwise, I would be all over it.

Sadly, this one has lost the hat band portion during some stage of it's life, though the bow remains. The green sweatband only has the words "Hygieatan a Certified Leather Antiseptically Made" I am unsure of age, but I want to say it is in the older category; but any guesses/insight as to how old, and who may be the manufacturer is more than welcome. The hat shows where it may have had a liner at some point. I will take better photos when the lighting allows.

While both are former Springfield menswear stores, the box doesn't match the hat.

Navy Blue Gannon creation. Early pics, not my best effort. Did a dry bash late last night, the 6" crown is fun and challenging to work with. I hope to refine it this weekend based on examples in the Hat Creases thread. I love love love!

That is a damn fine hat! Please post a photo or two in the Hat Creases thread once you and the hat have agreed on the proper crease. ;)

Ottmar Reich (Lindenberg), 58cm, Crown Open 5 1/2 inches, Brim 2 1/2 inches, probably late 1950s early 1960s. I am not really sure what to make of this one because it has the feel of an older hat. The felt is really fantastic and easily dry creases. It's very well made with high quality components. The paper label is hand written which is strange and liner is glued in (could have been altered?). The Ottmar Reich Soft Felts I have come across are of a later time period so nothing to compare it to. Ottmar Reich was best known for Straw Boater Hats but started making Soft Felt hats in the late 1920s.
