T&W Lees in the colour "wolf" (love it already). Size 57 with the bound brim at 6cm and crown 10cm at the center dent. Fantastic hand to the felt and this is het brand at the top of their game. First time I've seen a label like this on one of their hats. The company was founded somewhere around 1875, so that places the hat in the late forties, maybe very early fifties.

Awesome, lid. The Dobbs CC is one I couldn't pass on... and your crease is, as always, world class.

Glad you like my diamond , Brent. These un-linered '40s felt hats are real pleasure to crease!

Thank you , Bob.
Although that Bowler has seen better days, it was still worth picking up, Bob. One can just imagine how magnificent it once looked. A great piece of local history, too. Nice find.Picked this up just for the local connection. Most likely made by The Springfield Hat Company (Mr. Kintrea was Sec./Treasurer at one point).

Thanks, Randy. If you can find one, buy it! T&W Lees in their heyday made truly excellent hats.
Thanks, Joe. Their hats are among the best English hats made.
The sheen on that felt looks Nice! Congratulations on your second chance.Two vintage hats came in today
The first is a 1910s/20s Feiges. I'm beyond happy to have this one again, i actually owned it around 2013, sold it, and regretted it. A few weeks ago, it showed up and I couldn't pass it up. Now it'll stay with me for a long time. It is made of beaver felt, with a longer hair/velour type finish. the color is like Champagne
The second hat is probably from the c.1920s/30s, and is a welcome addition as well.
I might have to try and get a photo of them with a suit or something sooner or later
Thank you Garrett!
