The Bowler or Derby Hat

[mayserwegener]

Great looking bowler, Steve and a nice bit of backstory as well. Cool find.

Stefan, Thanks! When I saw the cm size and markings I became interested in its origins.

 

[The Hatted Professor]

1910s Stetson Derby, estimated based on the LOT number. 5 ¾” crown, the tallest one I have, and the oldest one I have in my size. The bow has frayed ends on both sides and is not tacked down as usual. Vented crown. Interesting that the reorder number is also stamped on the sweatband.

My first bowler hat came in today.
Borsalino from the '30's/'40's. In very mint condition. It needed a little brush and that's it! Very nice!
