My Society Brand crusher arrived today. I've been waiting for this hat almost my whole life.

The quality is astounding. It's a touch big on my head, though.

This is a custom hat I had from Cappelleria Melegari in Milan
Sergio Anzani, the hatter, has a catalog of five or six basic forms of hats from where you can get variations on the theme, as well as a historical shop where sell the best brands in the world of hats.
I chose a form from the thirties and this is the result

Proportions are: brim at 6.5 cm. (2 5/8 inches) and crown at 12.5 cm. ( 5 inches) bashed. Ribbon is 4 cm. (1 5/8 inches)

The felt is FEPSA 120 gr. beige (or bone)

I chose a color that was not present in my collection

The lining is a modern satin with the brand in gold

The hatter sign with a golden pencil the hat with the number of hats done during years

Got this vintage Pilgrim in the mail today. Thanks to Bob Hufford for the tip.

I know this was the Sears brand for years. I'm guessing it's late '40s to early '50s. It has a 2 5/8 brim, probably 5 1/2 to 5 3/4 crown. It's in great shape.

Oh, and it has this faux wind trolley button, with no cord.

Jay -- the Pilgrim looks great on you! I guess a bit of karma came back my way and I found a Pilgrim at a flea market this evening ($8.95). Not as sweet as yours, but I was happy to find it. I also found a wool Pendleton ($4.48) at the DAV thrift and a USA made engineer cap ($2.98).

I guess Du Pont "Quilon" resists water, but allows stains to pass through to the liner. :rolleyes:

very nice score indeed

Beautiful finds.^^

really special find Andrew ... great paperwork

I love that kind of ephemera. Congrats Andrew!
Thanks, guys. It was really cool to find them in my own backyard. I got them from a buddy who bought them years ago at a well respected doctor's estate sale. We found them tucked away in his garage. He had long since forgotten about them. Boy, am I glad to have been there helping him organize.
