So, still wearing the CD. Trying to get it as sweaty as I can. Pretty warm, sunny day. Just chugged out 6 miles in an hour and twenty minutes. Windy as heck today and this hat didn’t even think of leaving my head. Plus a little sumpin for Sir Bowen @AbbaDatDeHat. I only stole a PICTURE, not the sign. I would never.

And every time you post it, I get a little sweaty for a few minutes.

Nice! A warranted hat!

Says so right there on the band.

To be fair, the owner probably has some warrants, too. :rolleyes:

It’s National Hatters Day!

Well, it is if you own a rare fedora made by the National Hatters company, I suppose any day could be declared a holiday. :)
Got this sweet lid from eBay yesterday. Looked up old threads and
Found only two other people who bought a hat like this one and found info on the defunct company stating they made hat components and hat tools. Was wondering if any of you guys have this brand in your collections?
Notice the small embossed name of this hat: “EAST” on the sweat.
Kind of an odd name, isn’t it?
Guess they had a “West”, “North” and “South” as well ?
Steam shaped it last night and the felt is easily manipulated, unlike the wide brimmed Cavanagh and Dobbs recently acquired.
A very fine hat that arrived with a teardrop crease and 4 3/8 crown at front pinch. Guessing its vintage to be 40s/early 50s considering its reedless sweatband and onion skin liner and sweat blocker. Has a 2 3/4 over welt brim, so maybe not high end, but I’m proud to include this fedora in my small, ever revolving collection.
