great hats, and interesting to see the side by side contrasts.

Been nice and cool the last few days so wore my latest two Squatters, the Grey one yesterday and wore my Black one today;

Dang Alan... sweet TARs !!!!!!

Beautiful, and well worth a brief jump off the wagon IMO. Classic styling that would wear beautifully today. Silk, as Steve points out, and fantastic liner imprint. 1920s?... I'm not sure. I think the sweat may very well be original given the condition of the hat.

Does it fit you? A great find and the perfect excuse for a Night at the Opera!

The sweat might be from the period, you're right Alan. It isn't the Knox one, though and yes, it fits me like a glove but I wouldn't dare to wear this out of the house! lol lol

Two hats purchase over the past two weeks arrived together yesterday.

Fab pair, Alan, a nice Birthday present for yourself, I would say!

Alan, those two are simply mahvelous!

This hat is really neat. I just got it from Buler this past weekend. Thanks Bill!!!!
The felt is extremely soft and its color is brown with white hairs mixed in. Almost like a heather felt, but just two colors, brown and white. It has that Straight sided/flat top crown that I absolutely love. Here's some pics:

Picked this up at one of the local antique shops a while back for next to nothing ($10). I was wondering if anyone can give me an idea of it's age? I don't think it's very old at all, but it fit and goes with jeans well.

P I was wondering if anyone can give me an idea of it's age?

80s to present is my guess.

 

[Blooze]

80s to present is my guess.

That's what I was guessing as well. Thanks!

Beauty Josh! I hope you have a sunroof.

We'll have to work on that!

I'm not sure that topper sweats followed the same branding form as fedoras. Perhaps the Knox marking was only on the liner? The one I have is a private label for B.Altman... it has no markings on the sweat at all. Just guessing.

What a great old fedora, Josh! Similar in many ways to my old Dobbs. I love the lines, frayed ribbon, and felt. Looks like a nice tall crown as well. :eusa_clap:clap2:

 

[bowlerman]

Josh- interesting frosted brownie you got there! i've never seen anything like it-- congrats!

Blooze, great Dobbs, and wearable with just about anything. Sorry I can't be of any help with the vintage.

Lots of great hats today - quite impressive! I've got to hand it to carouselvic on this one, however. Someday I'll own a hat with these proportions, and I can only hope it will be as nice as this one. Beauty!

Very interesting point, Alan. Can anyone share some thoughts about this?

No photographs yet (I apologise), but today, I purchased a grey, beaver-felt Stetson trilby for $20. Wonderfully comfortable and fuzzy and fits me perfectly.
