Today I got my Vintage Dunlap from ebay. I own a couple of stingys and ive really been getting into the bigger brimmed hats, but when I saw this one, I knew I had to have it. It kind of reminds me of a mini whippet. The fur felt is EXTREAMLY soft and high quality. In case you guys cant tell from the photos, the hat is absolutely MINT, except for the fact that the silk liner is no longer with the hat. I know that there was one at one time because underneath the sweat band, you can see the tape when the liner was attached too. The flash made the hat look charcoal colored, but it is actually pitch black. Everything about the hat is high quality. The stiching, the ribbon, the ribbon edge, the softness of the fur felt. Its my favorite black hat. Heres some pics, Enjoy:

daizawaguy, thank you for the picture of your VS Mojave. I can see that it is a color that I could use. Seeing the color already made up and on someone's head (yours in this case) is a big help to me, and perhaps others. You are always blazing the path for others to follow Sir!

Hopefully your young one there will grow up with an appreciation of the fine hat on this head.

Unreeded 50ies? Borsalino. Made for the Swiss market, shipped to Germany from the Low Countries, this week.

That is a great hat. That is my kind of hat. Good color match too on the clothes--makes the hat work. Where did you get it? What's the actual brim size--looks 3 inches. Also what does "unreeded" mean?

Thank you, Steve!

It was quite windy and we had some rain. So the Zapf was in it´s natural elements.

Dano,

found it at EBAY Holland. The brim is just right with 2,55" . For "reeded" vs. "unreeded" see this discussion.
