Today long walk in the quit sun with Meer in blue

It was made in France probably around the 30'

The felt is mixed, thick and very malleable

Unlined as most of the hats in that time, it has a "fat" crown

I had this over on the Borsalino BrotherHood Threads by mistake so am reposting here...

Here is my recently acquired Vintage 1942 Stetson Stratoliner in Slate Gray... Ultra Light Vita Felt .
it was 7 1/8 and I bumped it out to 7 3/16 almost 7 1/4 and near perfect fit using a Fat Charly's Hat Jack ...fit it into hat at just below top of Sweat Band, snug it up fairly tight, apply Steam around the outside of Sweat Band area for 360 degrees, let set for 1 hour, remove Hat Jack and try on....Repeat if not a good fit.
I would not try for more than 1/8 in size for fear of damaging, ripping the Sweat Band & leaving a ridge on outside of Crown Felt...

Super lookin" Strat, Bolero. Wish I could find similar vintage lids. My issue is the opposite - generally too large for my teensy head.

Daniele – Stupendo. Che bel colore. Me piacciano le dimenzioni di quel cappello.

Panadora – Looking warm!

Esther – What a great color combination.

Strapped – How many Christmas ties do you own?

MM – Lovin’ the Madison Avenues today.

Java – Looking good.

RJR – If that hat could talk…

Bolero – Gorgeous hat. Is it a Vita-Felt?

Knotten – Sharp!

Cal – What I said yesterday, today, too. Wow.

Bob – Like the colors and that ribbon. Nice.

Alan – Beautiful hat. I want to touch that felt.


Today, a Borsalino as well. In that color for which I do not have a name. Spruce?
