1950s Stetson Tijuana (althogh not model-marked with that name). Needs some spot cleaning.

Sweet!
Fantastic haul, Bob. At least if you're a size 7 (or 6 7/8). Don't tempt me though.

Makes me wonder why American manufacturers used these copper ferrules. You don't see them on European hats.

That’s pretty cool when some history info accompanies a vintage item.

A couple more. These are "before" pics. Hopefully the "after" pics will be much better.

The Dobbs homburg and the Stetson Eagle stand out, but all are fantastic finds. Now for those 7 ½ hats to arrive!

Premiere Marque. This is a new brand for me and was part of a group of five hats with four being of European manufacture. 5 ½” open crown and 2 ½” raw edge brim. The felt is more than decent and easily takes any crease dry. The sweatband is cheap, thin, hard, and feels brittle (I’m not looking for any hidden tags). Size is 59cm or 7 ⅜ US.

Tirard in ragondia (aka: nutria, coypu, Rat Gondin). 5 ⅝” open crown and 2 ⅝” raw edge brim. I’ve handled felt with a finer finish and softer hand, but this is maybe the most moldable felt I’ve seen. It truly molds like clay without any noticeable spring back. Just wish it was my size. 59cm or 7 ⅜ US.

I really wanted this hat to work for me, but it’s just too small. Greeley Hat Works for the Drunk Hare Hat Co. The felt is nicer than I was expecting and not overly stiff. The brim is 3 ⅜” with a nice pencil curl.
