Post New Hats Here!

I received this a couple of days ago out of the bay. It’s my first Cavanagh. I figure it’s no newer than the 1950s, but I really don’t know.

More details and photos of this hat in The Cavanagh Club thread.

Nice catch.

gorgeous Cavanagh Scott

great dimensions

and I would thing your dating estimation is pretty accurate ... I would say late 50s ... since that is when the crest with only "New York" written under Cavanagh Hats showed up

Professor Bowers could probably narrow it down for you ... but I would say your are correct

nice Cavanagh . Is this the hat that i´ve seen on ebay last week?
I have observe, but the custom taxes to Austria were to high.

 

[scottyrocks]

Thanks, guys.

I really like this one.

moon, I discovered, after posting to this thread, and preparing text for the Cavanagh Club thread, a label under the sweatband that says '$25.00' and 'BUFFALO.' The price should be a further help in dating the hat, shouldn't it?

mike, yes it was on ebay last week. I won it within minutes of winning another hat that I have not received yet.

Buffalo is most likely the color ... Possibly ?
And that price would suggest probably 60s to me...?
... But my gut says late 50s
Brad Bowers is the guy to ask

I had thought that BUFFALO was the place it was shipped to and sold. Alan corrected me in The Cavanagh Club thread. It is the color. haha

that is gorgeous !!!

I'd have that feather gone faster than a toupee in a hurricane ... but that's just me

fantastic score

 

[scottyrocks]

Thanks, moon.

I haven't removed it because I haven't decided what to do with the hat yet.

This is one of those lids that looks great in pictures, but I don't love the way it looks on me when I look in the mirror. It doesn't look bad, but I don't love it. Yet.

Sorry to hear that, Scotty--from this perspective, it looks like a great hat, and you wear it really well.

Last week, when I posted about my good news from the doctor, I decided to take Fruno's suggestion andcelebrate with a couple of new hats, instead of just one. Actually, I got three. The first arrived a half hour ago.
I saw this one, a velour Borsalino trachten style traveler, on eBay with a below $40 BIN and free shipping. Just had to.

The felt is perfectly soft and floppy, no hint of stiffener in it. The fit is perfect, it has a 1 5/8" brim, basically needs to be creased just before wearing.
If anyone knows the approximate age, please tell! I see the numbers 21983 on the tag, it couldn't be that easy, could it? (1983, that is).
Have a great evening!
