Yep, that would work. Not that easy to find good examples of fabrics that are suited for this though.Nice hat and a very cool replacement liner. I found some nice printed fabric patches with "Pin Ups" on eBay; these would probably make good hat liners as well

Nice hat in a good shape. The Germans made a great many different branded hats. You can post it in the German and Austrian Hutmachers thread too. Only if there's a label inside it there's some chance of finding out who made it.Came home from work to find a box on the table, new hat!
Received my Matador today.
The crown is 10.5cm tall
The brim is 6cm wide.

Sadly no label inside, I could contact the seller and see if they know a little more about the history of the hat but that’s about all I could.

It's probably later 1950s early 1960s. My guess is if it had a paper label there would be no company mark which was common with such hats.

Contacted the seller, paper label was already out when they got the hat but as far as they know from the previous owner, the hat is from the 1950-1956 era. It’s from somewhere in Germany but not known where exactly.

Thank you for the additional information. The no company mark hats with such brand names were common in this time period and later. They come from distributors / wholesalers in most cases. I have been able connect some of the trademarks with the distributors but rarely the hat companies that made the hats (or if some of the distributors had hat making facilities which I tend to doubt).

And thanks!
Thanks Jim! Things are groovy here in NorCal. And yes, it is as soft as it looks.
Thanks Bowen! Had I known brown bags were so cool I could have saved a lot of money...
Thanks Dd!
I won't be a stranger, but I can't stop being strange..
Thanks Mike!
That's the first new one since the Tirard Elf bowler. Almost pulled the trigger on a Barlesoni Baku on ebay the other day, but held out for something older. Probably blew my only chance at an affordable Baku in my size.

This arrived late yesterday - a 1920s/'30s Lamson Hubbard courtesy of @splintercellz.
It's got that unmistakably malleable vintage felt that holds whatever shape you put into it, even without steam.
As it is ever slightly too snug, right now it is pulled part-way down on my straight sided 23" Hat Shaper. I put a light sheen of shea butter on the sweat to help relax it as it stretches out a bit. I will report back tomorrow on the fit.

What are these “leather jackets” of which you speak? Come back to the light before it’s too late.
That Nutria is a knockout! Is that the rowboat crease?
