Ha—that’s it! Saks Fifth Avenue—great looking hat.

Thanks! I think I wore it not too long ago. Here was its FL debut some time back https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/what-hat-are-you-wearing-today.94860/page-1911#post-2688139

Here’s another durn 7 1/8 I have that needs a smaller head.
I haven’t seen a 50s light weight fedora with shoe string band quite like this, but I’m sure some here has.
2 5/8 raw edge brim. Nice, light pecan color.

Thanks, Joe—that’s what I was hoping for to get some close ups. What a great looking hat. Love the colors and the crease—classic. Cheers

Thank you David. It is certainly not without its flaws.. including moth holes that go right through the felt. Fortunately they either are well hidden.. like a moth hole at the ribbon break…. Or they “add to character“

Haha—I’ve been on a streak of buying hats with moth holes lately. Character is right!

My new Gannon was delivered this morning, I will get better pictures later. Its beaver dress weight in granite with a 5 1/2" open crown and a 2 3/4" pencil curled brim. Very nice!

Great looking hat! What is the turnaround time for a hat like this?

Thank you! I think I got on Michael's list back in August, so it was just over 4 months.

40s Bergson made in New York. One of the many unknown brands when it seemed anyone with a last name was making hats.
This one is a nice color of soft, light, pliable felt. Has 3 rows of decorative stitching on the 2 7/16”

brim. Nice fedora, and in my size.

I debated where to put this but figured this was as good as any thread since it is new. When your in-laws know you collect hats and so they get you a hat for a Christmas gift:

Specs:
5" Crown
1 - 1-3/8" Brim (variable, not dimensional)
3/8" Overwelt
1-1/8" Ribbon
112g Weight

No additional tags behind the fabric sweatband, but the Walmart packing slip identifies the hat as Top Headwear. As the saying goes, it's the thought that counts.

Dobbs with Guild Edge
About 4 1/4 Crown as Shaped (about 5 open)
1 7/8 antiqued pewter ribbon
1 13/16 Brim with Cavanagh/Guild Edge

One of the joys of StingyMas is going through and finding hats I might not have seen in a while… OR.. in this case… one I have no recollection of At ALL! This stingy Dobbs with Guild Edge with It’s brim coming in in between 1 3/4 and 1 7/8. A brownish grey felt with Maybe some plum undertones. The ribbon is an antique pewter color now veering towards green. The oil skin liner and brown sweat point to 1950s… the much shorter brim and manufacturing tag point to 1960s. I’m gonna go with late 50s/early 60s. It has a few or more fairly good sized moth divots and a whole heck of a lot of “character“.

Found by accident and bought together with big name hats

Arrived yesterday to my amazement I was deeply impressed by its quality

Unknown brand, probably Italian with a completely strange name (Produit of Pierpo - Sport wear of quality - Gold Point) size 56, assumed from the internal measurements.

The honey-colored velor felt is very malleable and has a medium-long nap with a patterned ribbon.
Thne interior has a clear lining, but someone took away the sweatband

The paper label show the name of felt finish with the French naming of this type of felt: "Flamand"

Here the measurements of this hat: overwelyed brim at 6 cm. the fancy ribbon is at 4 cm. and the open crown is 14 cm.

Making the color of the felt was a bit difficult because despite the perfect gray in the sky, the bricks of the house at the foot of which the hats are photographed leave a red cast that disturbs.
A sort of Christmas gift from the Hats Heaven

They are going to expect a head shot ... and so are we.

My fear when I hear questions like… “what size hat do you wear?” Around the holidays.

Two Questions:
Did it fit?
And
Will we see it in the WHYWT Tread? (I could see this being warn around the house with your smoking jacket or bath robe).

Oh, hell yeah!

My fear when I hear questions like… “what size hat do you wear?” Around the holidays.

When I opened the gift they were worried I already had something similar. They were relieved when I assured them I definitely did not have a hat quite like it.

I'll be a good sport and post it for Stingymas in the next day or two. Currently -35F windchill so it will be an indoor shot, but can't promise a bathrobe.
