Post New Hats Here!

Factory, I believe - just a slight variation on the theme. The sewn in button becomes a place to stow the loop at the end of the string. The loop can be disengaged from the button on the hat and attach to a button on a jacket.

just super fantastic information Alan ... thank you so much

so glad I did not detach it !!!

Extremely excited to show my latest piece.

1930s Stetson Standard Quality

slightly unique being a Stetson retail store hat

This is the original box

the hat is completely mint and doesn't appear to ever have been worn

Oh my goodness what unbelievable felt

...and this was in the box ... I'm assuming it is some sort of lint cloth because it works quite well for that

Sweet!
A nice black hat for a cool cat who used to dislike black hats!
Never know...might spot you in a bowler someday.

This is incredible! I love the bonus lint brush - priceless.

Keeping with the black theme of the day...my Mallory Derby from the Titanic showed up today. This Mallory has the later date in the logo (more research is needed as to the style) and is in excellent condition. Under the sweat was a sheet of paper for sizing, but alas, it was blank! No markings on the inside of the near perfect sweat. Cloth size tag. Since it has the 1823 date, that gives me a start on dating. Nice for $35 and being a relic of the Titanic(? weird listing category).

 

[Daniele Tanto]

A triple of hats I found on the Italian market for Stefan in Holland
Panizza "Zeffiro" color "Nocciola" probably dated 50s

Medium stiff felt

Lobbia Borsalino color "Bronze" sold in Naples in the 1950s

Soft felt

DeMonte - Gran Marca the most unknown amongst the three, built perhaps for a shop of Omegna 20 kilometers from Ghiffa and Intra capitals of the hats on Lake Maggiore

Very soft felt

All sizes between 56 - 57
Of course Stefan will make a detailed photographic reportage of new arrivals from Italy
They part of a European exchange between South to North and viceversa

Excellent international relations... we should all be so lucky!

Nice pick up, Mike. What's the "relic of the Titanic" story?

Daniele, looking forward to it and I'll will do my best with the pictures. We try to tighten the bonds to prevent a "Nexit" or a "Itexit"

I will open a very small office of export and I will try to satisfy all requests, so no one will stay without Italian hats

Trade with the Flemings has been going on for many years to be interrupted by some "exit"

The weird Ebay category, "White Star & Titanic". I picked it up for a song, no body bidding against me. I wish it was from 1912, I suspect it was minted some 3 decades later.

Well, as long as there are no signs of water damage.


Sent directly from my mind to yours.

2 1/2 miles deep in the North Atlantic, seems to have preserved it well.

Recently acquired these two from my cousin's grandma, belonged to her late husband. Fortunately for me they are a perfect fit, and near mint! If anyone could date these I'd be grateful.
