Post New Hats Here!

[Luis]

Just picked this one up on the Bay from a great seller for $16 ($11 hat + $5 shipping)
Adam Premier Executive. It is my size, I'm thinking I can send it to Art to have it redone.

Update: Just arrived today! some starch and steam. The sweatband practically crumbled when even looking at it. Here are some pics of an amateur at the hats. Next is to order a new band. Doesn't look too hard. Maybe thinking of changing the ribbon and band to black. It looks very nice as the black one is a bit wider. What do you think? Also got some good news, I am coming close to my next VS as I heard from Art yesterday. Going with a lightweight silver belly.

Nice BR, Richard.

Excellent find, Richard. A San Antonio of older quality is something I'm on the hunt for.

And Luis (upthread) - personally, I like the ribbon color combo w/ the sharks gill. However, if you decide to replace it, you can always send it to me and I'll put it on one of my hats.

After not being able to find the right Borsalino or Stratoliner I finally made one that sort of fits what I was after. This is a winchester Steel dress beaver with a 3 " brim that I gently pounced and washed out some color of. Vintage silk grosgrain are a bit lighter than I wanted but they're ok.
This color hat goes great with black or navy colors.

Looks cool even being a 3" brim.

40 awesome hat.Dobbs I found a couple of weeks ago.A tight fit,7 1/4 I think no tags.Love the liner.

Dogman, I love the Rainbow. I've got a couple, but none with as much brim. Does yours have the hook/feather?

 

[DOGMAN]

Hello gents. Not had opportunity to post here really, with not having many felt hats, but I found a beauty. It was all crumpled up in a vintage shop, and I managed to get it for £8 (I guess that's about $12?). With a steam and massage it came up absolutely immaculate. The photos don't do the colour justice - it is a slate grey, with a lovely silver ribbon that has two trailing ends. I don't know the maker myself, but i was hoping some of you fellows could identify it? 'Marke Greif', so I don't know if that's German or Austrian? I have assumed 1950s from the style, but I guess it could potentially be a spot earlier. The lining and the leather sweatband are in great condition, and are not cracked or dry at all.

If I get chance tomorrow I shall take better pictures in better light.
