Thanks sir. I feel honored to have this NOS hat on my hat rack.
This hat is part of a few NOS from the retailer Hurley (hats manufactured by the Wolthausen Hat Company). https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/brock-hats.91490/page-2.
BTW: Terrific hat in your last post.
Yesterday a powder blue Gannon

Very cool hat, Steve. Neat that it still has the “basting” stitches still in the ribbon. Oh and Now I have Laura Branigan stuck in my head.EMS "Gloria" Backbow, possibly later 1920s early 1930s. This Wool Soft Felt came with a crease clip (Excelsior) and has a classic look of the time and place. The felt (Ferrum) and ribbon (Veilchen) colors are very interesting shades of Violet. Possibly made by Berlin Gubener Hutfabrik and EMS might be a distributor. I found this Wool Soft Felt back in 2013.
The original hat shop bag from "H. Moeller, Marburg".
Great Gannon. Though I don’t recall ever seeing a not great one.I had fully intended to don another stingy today but somehow the Gannon found its way on my noggin instead.
Alas, it sits too comfortably now.

I guess if I ever want to sell that one, I no longer can claim it comes from a smoke-free home (pet-free is also in question) View attachment 570493

Joe, Thank you! Branigan made a lot money off that name! Super looking Borsalino "Colombo"!Very cool hat, Steve. Neat that it still has the “basting” stitches still in the ribbon. Oh and Now I have Laura Branigan stuck in my head.
