I hope everyone had a great weekend. I wore my 3X OR, my Akubra Angler, and my Hemp OR this weekend.
Just never sit too close to the campfire while wearing it!It is stiff and tightly woven, but very lightweight. According to the label (via Google Translate), it is “100% cotton fabric painted with pyroxylin lacquer.” I have learned that pyroxylin, or nitrocellulose, is also used in gunpowder and film, but when making a lacquer of this type it dries to a thin, clear film.
Beautiful hat, SteveTonak Iradon, mid to late 1950s. This is another hat from my May 2016 NOS Czech Find.
170th (1799 - 1969) Anniversary of TONAK (24 Years). Yes no mention of Hückel (146 Years) on the cover. Most of the book is a history of hats but there is a chapter on the history of the JHS factory. There is a good bit of propaganda but that is to be expected. Found this book back in 2015.
Both look fab2Ms on this Memorial Monday:
First up is the new-to-me Mallory aristocratic quality. I think this is from the late 40s and feels like it might have some wool in it.

Switched over to the Mayser Super for Memorial Day celebrations with the family. We are lucky to not have any family to memorialize, though we’ve a number of war veterans in the last few generations.

Gorgeous hat, and fantastic overcoat!!
Joe, Thank you!Beautiful hat, Steve
Good Tuesday. Home from this mornings work escapades I did a couple yard chores. The temps have warmed up to a breezy 62'f (16'c). An unlined Stetson Playboy was my "yard hat." This Air Light felt is indeed air light on the head.
I tip my brim to TFL Hat Folks, cheers!
