Hello to everyone, as you know or you know now summer is not the best season to wear hats :(

A very interesting panama for my taste and for my will not to spend a lot of money for a straw hat ;)

Summer is still fresh here, so I can stand it, but some heat is coming from North Africa and the weekend will be "boiled"

Have a nice day and I really can't mention every good hat I saw in the last week, so compliments to everyone!
Great to see you Daniele! The brim on that fine panama should shield you from the Morocco heat!

This Dalton is one of my oldest hats. These things are nigh impossible to date, but I have a completely speculative theory about the liner tip logos. The ones with "World's Finest," like this one and the blue Waverly, are pre WWII. They changed to "America's Finest" during the war, to capture the patriotic sentiment. It doesn't seem they were sold much, if at all, outside the States, though Steve (@mayserwegener) found a liner tip dye block in a European purchase of those things a couple years ago. We know the rights to the name were sold in 1953, and few later examples of this brand have been seen beyond that era (a few stingy late 50s-early 60s hats that don't appear to be from the original factory).


Sent directly from my mind to yours.
One of your finest Daltons Jim. Love the distinction between "Worlds" and "Americas" based on nationalistic sentiments during WWII.

Tried my new OR 6X with the brim snapped down today. What kind of tape is used for a hat that is too big?

That’s a problem I wish I had more often ;)

Hat western stores usually carry reducing tape, Etsy sells reducing felt strips, and a lot of us use hardware store weather stripping tape (some use the adhesive and some don’t).
