I will let him know there would be interest.
Here is my new hat, I know almost nothing about it, other than it looked interesting and was cheap on ebay. It is a Churchill Woodside in canyon. I gave a quick cleaning and brush it out then spent some time cleaning the human slime off the hatband. It came out pretty decent so far, I may try my hand at repairing the moth chew on the crown and I think the brim needs a little stiffener.

Nice. Churchill was one of the brands in the Byer-Rolnick stable (best known for Resistol). Churchill was once the prestige brand and some great hats have worn that brand. Later hats, like with most all brands, became lower quality.
CHURCHILL HATS
I like your pinch front crease better than the cattlemen's crease and the felt is wonderful, very reminiscent of my Stetson 100s. I know you will enjoy the Churchill, Stefan. Wear it in good health. Thanks, Randy. A cattleman's crease is a bit too "western" for our surroundings here. I will get...

That's an impressive haul, Bob! Not a bad one in the lot....unless you factor in that none would fit me. That Bandera has an interesting looking crease on it.

I don't know anything about Poulton's hats, and honestly I don't care for black hats much, but I could tell this one was an old one, and since it fit and was ridiculously inexpensive I grabbed it. The sweat was padded with the piece of newspaper from 1934. There was enough in there to choke it down a couple of sizes, so I imagine somebody picked this up second hand during the depression and loaded it in there to make it fit. If anyone has any info on this brand, I'd sure be appreciative of it.

Here’s the hat in the sunlight.

It was remiss of me not to post the Brummel’s here when I first got it from you. I know how you love homburgs. I think to me, you will always be the Homburg guy. Just like @johnnycanuck is the Akubra guy, @quikrick is the Pork Pie guy, @Blare is the stingy guy (wrt brims!) and @Daniele Tanto...

Very cool Dale! Looks like Mr. Poulton was not yet on his own in 1909.
