Another beauty, Don. It looks like a natural colored felt. My favorite!

I had these switched in the “Waiting For” thread. The fuzzy one is the Dobbs Fifteen. Another one that I wish fit me.

5-5/8” crown, 3” brim, size 7-1/4. A few moth nips.

Adam Executive - XLX Strand G
Light Grey Brown - Taupe Felt
Approx 4 3/4 Crown as shaped (about 5 3/4 Open)
2 3/4 Brim with 1/2 Grosgrain Binding
1 7/8 Pewter Grosgrain Ribbon

I received a perfectly timed and much appreciated heads up about this hat from @deadlyhandsome and I was able to lock in a lightning fast Buy it Now for this Super Cool Adam Executive “XLX Strand G”. It has essentially a somewhat bigger proportioned Whippet styling. With a 2 3/4 Brim featuring a full half inch of brim binding. I believe not quite as wide binding as say a Stetson Vogue or some iteration of Stetsonian… but a tad wider than the usual 3/8 on most whippets. A beautiful big full crown at about 5 3/4 open. The hat has a wind trolley that appears to be still tacked into place with a stitch.

I was really interested to see what color this hat would be in person. As the seller listed it as brown…. But the photos were Maybe a silver grey. When I opened the box it presented as a medium tan/grey. As I moved it into more light it appeared a more light tan grey. In full sun… a more light to silver grey. Considering the chameleon like color shifter on the tan grey spectrum… I’m going with Taupe.

It was fairly clean upon arrival.. just gave it an overall brushing and a bit of steam to shape up the crown. Thanks so much from thinking of me, Brent… this beauty has definitely found a home.

Two exceptional hats, Bob. Great colour combo on the Dobbs and the Morrison is a gorgeous homburg.

Yeah, when I don't know what colour something is I go for "taupe" as well . Great hat, Joe.

Boy that is a beauty, Joe!

I would have assumed Executives to be more expensive than $7.50 - I mean at least $10 by the end of the 1940s. Was the whole Adam line this much less expensive than the top-shelf brands, or is the price indicative of a hat from an even earlier time period (I know nothing about dating an Adam, but judging from the sweatband and liner I’d guess late 40s, no?).

Regardless, it’s a killer lid!

Thanks Nathan. I do not know for sure… but I think Adam was a discount brand compared to Stetson or Dobbs. They did a lot of radio advertising to send folks to their Adam Hats stores. I suppose if 1950s Whippet was at $10. $7.50 for Adam might make sense.

Thanks Phil!!!

So you reckon the Executive was comparable to the quality of the Stetson Royal? That surprises me, but I’ve never handled an Executive.

Looks like I should research the Adam thread.

Adam was known for their affordability and advertised as such. I only own a couple, but I believe Executive was a higher quality.

The ones I've seen are pretty nice, though.

Lots to be learned here.

ADAM ALLEY

Adam Fifth Avenue hats Hello to all of you. I am one of the new "kids in the neighborhood". Does any one knows about history of Adam hats.? Do they have the same popularity or prestige of other Fedora hats?

Thanks Fruno, you saved me a search. I'm gonna read that thread.

$7.50 for a brand new Adam Executive back in the day definitely seems like a steal - they appear to be great quality. Of course, the same can be said for Champ - I've seen some on here that are incredibly nice and I have one myself that puts my RD Stetsons to shame.

In my limited experience with Champs, I'd rather have an Adam.

Yeah on the whole the Adam Executives I’ve seen are the most impressive of the lot - but Blare has shown more than one very nice looking Champ..
