My Wife has been finding vintage hats for me like crazy, however, look at what she found the other day for herself! Vintage from the 1930's....(wooooot)!

Sadly she is wearing this hat for the first time to her little Sister's funeral...

How much green is in that hat, color wise? Nice hat!

Rodkins, those are amazing. Nice haul! I love the binding on the vita-felt.

Ray, Terry, Sam Diamond-- excellent specimens as well. What a great rattler band!
I'm not sure that Knox could quite pass as a homburg, though. Could it be an Alpine hat?

This just came in from ebay:
Wormser Royal Luxury, with a very cool sharksgill and cross-stitched ribbon.

Rich color black on that hat, I am liking the brim edge also....reminds me of a strat mixed with whippet!

Very sad occasion for your lovely wife to wear that new hat, Daniel, I'm very sorry for the loss in your family.
I hope she gets to show it off in much happier times in the future!

Thanks mike , the felt on this sucker is really nice too . Ive had 3 whippets from various eras now and the felts have each had their own qualities about them.
