Post New Hats Here!

Alan, Great character on all points. I like the smooth transition of color in the brim. Is it possible to see the exact point/weave where the two colors co mingle? I like this hat.

Hi Dennis - thank you! If you visit the link in the Hawes Von Gal thread you will see additional photos, including a detail of the attachment point for the outer green straw.

My Willis & Geiger came in today! I instantly replaced the musty zebra pelt band with something I had more in mind for this one...

You carry it well. Looks great.

Thanks, man! I've been after this one for a while, and really happy to have it. Only problem with it is the previous owner was very generous on the felt stiffener, so it's really stiff.

I got two hats this week. Here's the other.
Montecristi Fino Fino, Havana, from Panama Hats Direct. More in the Panama Hats thread.

 

[The Jackal]

Received a matching pair of Bollman fur bowlers today, one in black, one in grey.

They both had a pretty significant dent in the top. It looked intentional, almost like someone was trying to put a fedora style crease in the top. I put some steam to them and have gotten it mostly corrected.

All in all, I only gave 50 bucks for the pair, so I think I came out well ahead on this one

Occasionally some hat resurfaces and arouses my curiosity

This for the felt, I have in various interpretations in French hats

Huber Air Exquisit size 59 centimeters

Sold by Paul Rhein - Saarlouis - Grosse Markt

This are the writing on the sweatband that is difficult to decipher because faded
The proportions are as follows: the brim is 6 cm. overwelt, the ribbon is 5 cm. and the open crown is 13.5 cm. cresed as telescope

Felt is often soft and quite rigid, perhaps because it has long been in need of a little steam, however the texture and the color are very similar to French felts that undoubtedly are softer

The hat is in good condition, it has no lining but just a tip as you can see

All indications are contained in the paper label which also shows the quality called "Mohair".
The finishes are very precise.

If this is actual mohair, and not just a quality designation, then it is a goat hair hat. Very interesting, not sure I have seen one of those.

Most likely finish related.

Mayser "Spezial", 58 cm, probably later 1930s. It's rare to come across a 1930s or older Mayser. The felt and form on this hat are fantastic.

I was able to verify that this store location did not survive WWII. The hat characteristics and paper label format will help in Mayser dating efforts.

This very nice, simple Tonak fedora was one of two lids kindly added to three wonderful hats I bought from Stefan. Thank you to my Dutch hat pusher. It works both up or down. Tonak hats, though often nothing special, will never let you down.

An almost very new Barbisio from 2006. Extremely thin felt, very floppy. No brim binding. Stiched lining like in the good old days [emoji4].

Stefan kindly added this wonderful 1965 Pinazza, soft velvet, "petting" hat to three hats I just had to have. I was going to add photos of me wearing it, but damn it, my youngest daughter looks even better in it.
Proud that both my daughters have a natural affinity to hat wearing [emoji4]

Wonderful.

 

[Hat and Rehat]

I had a written post about this one, but tapatalk dropped me and I'm too tired to write it again tonight.
It's a very light, soft felt.
Can anyone tell me much about it?

Man! Tapatalk just dropped off again when I was almost done with a long post featuring nine new hats since this time last week. I need to get ready for work, so will share the three that are still posing now, then post the others and describe them all tonight.

A Dobbs Key West......4" brim! Guaranteed to keep the sun off me (and anyone standing nearby........ I thought this would make some of you true westerners proud! It looks more white in the photo's but is a nice cream color.......

Great hat. That color combination works well together and I really like how the brim is flanged. Nice.
