The Bowler or Derby Hat

[splintercellsz]

I did a double take when I saw your post. Absolutely exquisite!! Fingers crossed my friend!

Thank you very kindly sir, I almost did a double take when I saw this one show up in the 'bay. Now I just have to keep my fingers crossed it makes its way safe and sound from Italy.

Fantastic! I found the hat company in the 1925 Kelly's Directory Of Merchants, Manufacturers And Shippers.

Thanks for posting that, the only other thing i've seen on the company is that it dissolved in the 1930's according to the seller. So if anyone else comes across a hat from this company its at least going to be that old.

Really incredible! I've seen those bagnaras before, probably on eBay and i always covet them. Very cool.

I got this Stetson Derby, it was in Athens, Greece. As usual not my size but was worth the gamble. I like the vents on top. Anyone know the age? The seller said it had been in his family 2 generation, so that would make it 50's 60's?

 

[yttclothing]

Ok so im guessing by the duplicate tag it could be 20's I just read on another site am I right or have I misread it completely ?

 

[alanfgag]

Not later than 1930S... could be earlier.

Do you see a LOTXXXX imprint on the back side of the sweatband?

 

[yttclothing]

No the only thing on that side of the sweatband in a reprint of the to duplicate number

Hi Folks

My first bowler. Basic black from Dunn and Co... I really like the formal look and dapper appearance the bowler presents...
Thank you for letting me share.
Regards.

Nice bowler. Probably 60's from the liner.

Lots of shots of nice bowlers. How about some shots of members with the chutzpah to actually wear the hats out amongst the general public?

Any good?

Always good, Richard... and many, many more posted on the WHAYWT thread.

You might recognize me in the photo posted above, but alas, I couldn't wear this one outside the house.

Just haven't found one to fit me, Facadie, but when I do... I'll meet you at the Hanover Street Chophouse! I hear their gedempte flanken is to die for!

Richard you were born to wear bowlers!

Alan, you can run, but not hide, sir. Great look!

I thought there was a striking family resemblance

Very stylish, I like the brown one particularly. I was wondering if there was a style that fit these hats other than the well-dressed Englishman one tends to see exclusively these days.
