Ken, is that you in there?:)


I knew I was going to like this week, Steve. Another cool hat.


Nice hat, Alan. Enough exercise for now; now back with the kid to learn how to make hat liners!


Very nice. I don't immediately associate Pilgrim with bowlers.


That one gets the stamp of approval right away, Joe.


Good looks will get you quite a long way, Randall!

haha! Yeah, that’s a different kid. I already spoke to the other one about liners. She’s willing, if she had either measurements or a sacrificial liner. I’ll start digging. That’s a great idea Stefan.

Isn't madness just a state of mind? And thanks, the Borsalino is rating highly with me, too.

Another great pair from the Collezione Inglese.

Thanks Stefan. I didn't think I'd be wearing sheepskin again this year. I'm sure the OR will see good head time.

Thanks,
Michael
Thanks, Michael.

Enjoying the continuation of English week. The Attaboy is cool... but also good thing the branding is on the inside as it may also come with a swift smack on the backside. Probably incompatible with social distancing AND Me too! :D:po_O
Thanks, Joe. As far as woolfelt hats go, the Attaboy is quite nice. Pre-war some makers could do miracles with wool, but the Attaboy was an entry-level hat of the post-war era.

Templeform by Stylepark - Genuine Italian Velour

2818619F-2CD8-4F32-B143-9037D7B31A2F.jpeg


Templeform by Stylepark
Rich Brown Italian Velour
4 3/4 crown
1 7/8 brim
1 1/2 tan sweatband

Now for something completely different.... so somewhat anyway. Who says drinking and EBay don’t mix... This Stylepark Templeform in a rich chocolate brown Italian velour for a mere 4 dollars disagrees. Most of these petable felts are adorned with a corded hat band. This one has its own very unique band. From the seller’s pictures I was pretty sure the birds nest of a hat feather would have to go. But I was very surprised to find hidden under that mess a very cool metal ram pin/decoration. It Really gives this hat some personality.

Under the sweatband I found a newspaper clipping from the New York daily news dated Tuesday February 3, 1966. Featuring a headline of Get Rich Quick in City Housing... a photo of a fireman escaping a 4th story blaze and a photo of Jacqueline Kennedy. This clipping goes along with the styling cues enough that I would guess mid 1960s age for this hat.

Petting hats are always a good find, Joe. The ram on the ribbon is certainly a first!

Good get!
Was the Tammany leader suggesting arson?

Knox Twenty - Brown with Back Bow

View attachment 227789

Knox Twenty - Chocolate Brown
4 1/2 Crown as bashed
2 inch Brown Grosgrain Ribbon with back bow
2 1/4 brim with Cavanagh Edge
Oilskin liner tip

This one arrived today thanks to a much appreciated tip by fellow lounge member @georgie girl. I’ve been looking for a brown hat with similar dimensions for a bit as I love my black Dobbs very close in size to this. This one with its back bow and oilskin liner seem to point to 1950s vintage... and I think it’s manufacturer tag also supports that theory. The grosgrain ribbon appears to be a matching brown color.. though the grosgrain ribs can give it a grayish look depending on the light.

I will name this one after location of the store it was originally sold at and one of my wife’s favorite Garth Brooks songs... Tacoma

This one will climb very quickly on my favorite hats list.

Nice hat, but what a great headline Joe. I love it when I get some old papers included, always fun to read them.

Janyška "Parga" possibly late 1930s early 1940s. A very nice shade of brown with a Chamois like felt finish. The hat has a unique narrow sweatband. Unfortunately the gold dye must have a high concentration of copper which has oxidized with wear. Unfortunately this is not uncommon for the time period. This hat is from my May 2016 NOS Czech find.

This week I will highlight Janyška & Cie. from Czechoslovakia. Janyška & Cie. was started in the 1920s in Valašské Meziříčí – Krásno about 25 km from Nový Jičín (location of JHS, BB, AP). Janyška & Cie. was a Czech company based on Austrian hat tradition. Janyška & Cie. became Tonak Factory 2 post WWII and the factory was closed 1961.
