Tibetan/nomad fedoras

[besdor]

If the hats were made of fur felt in China then it was made by either Lihua or Tanjin Chance. I have seen similar hats before. We actualy have customers from Tibet who come to NY to buy hats. They dont care aboutthe shpae just that it be made in the USa. They pack them in duffel bags to take back to Tibet.

As requested, here are photos of my Tibetan/Chinese fedora interiors:

The pale tan:

The sweatband writing indicates that the hat is made in Tibet, China.

Fascinating subject, with splendid photos! Please consider posting these, along with any other photos you may have of your trip to Tibet and China, in Fedoras Afield.

Cheers,

That is so cool.
All you have to do is fly across the world to Tibet and you can buy a new fedora for $10.
You can get great straw hats in Honduras for that price, but they usually aren't finished ... no sweat band.

These look like great hats and what a terrific momentum ...
