Stetson "The Motor" zephyr weight fedora - late 1920s or early 1930s. Provenance, Dinerman ebay auction. More pictures in this thread.

Sheesh, you can make any hat look good. Why don't you appear in hat ads? Oh, I forgot--there are no hat ads. But if there were, you should be in them.

Agreed. And the photos are always of the highest quality. :eusa_clap

Thanks guys... the hat makes the man, or at least provides the inspiration!

Thanks Yeps, and I agree with you that it fills a niche that needed filling in my arsenal.

Alan, that hat oozes KOOL! I'm also jealous of your ability to seemingly look good in anything (though it may be the string of excellent hats you've been collecting recently). :eusa_clap

Stetson Pisa. My first quality purchase and I can say that I am very happy with it thus far.

^^^^^^^^
Well done!

 

[Mobile Vulgus]

Looking good, Alex.

Thanks guys

So I just posted, but I got this hat today. Two hats in two days [:

Vintage Hopkins Milan Straw. Maybe one of you gents could tell me a little more about this one?

 

[alanfgag]

Nice fishing. That's a beautiful narrow brim Milan straw... you'll find quite a lot of them around ebay in every ribbon straw combo imaginable. Exercise restraint! 8^)

 

[Neophyte]

Well done on both hats, Alex. They both look sharp on you! I don't think I've ever heard of the Pisa...nice find :eusa_clap

Good choice for yourself. That's not always an easy task.

I agree. Those are some nice lids!

Great hats .

I think you have found "Your" look. The brim, width of ribbon, height and shape of crown, they combine to make for an all-around nice city hat. I like it.

Young fogey: That is a great hat for you too.

alanfgag: That Stetson "The Motor" zephyr weight fedora is one VERY clean and smooth hat.

I like the Stetson as well. What, pray tell, is Milan straw?

 

[Alex]

Thanks a lot for the comments guys, really appreciate it.
Is anyone familiar with Hopkins hats? Or could it be possible to determine the date, roughly, of my Milan Straw?
The lady I got it from was in her mid 40s I'd say, and said it belonged to her grandfather.

Ferrer Prisma Madrid

Its twin is in a Museum dated 30's but I really don't know... Appears to be a silk finish Beaver. I presume Estilo Cañero refers to a Sugarcane Plantation. No thread for Spanish Hats.
