Furthermore, it's not a Lord's Hat. They didn't have a brim binding.

However, it is a great Homburg from one of the finest Manchester hat makers. Congrats on the buy.

I'd say it's from the 1960s.
Thanks! You are correct, I ignored the brim binding and went with Lord's Hat due to the side pinches and no center crease but I was probably being too presumptuous ... it's just one of my many flaws. :D

My Moores Homburg with side pinches and a tear drop crown, which I mistakenly thought was a Lord's Hat. My trusted source says it's from the 1930's but I'm certainly no expert so please don't shoot the messenger. That said, please do let me know if you have more accurate dating information.

Once again, it's a nice buy.

Please post this one in the Great British Hat Makers thread. Including a better photo of the other paper label under the sweatband.

Don't over do it, Nathan. Enjoy your break in Thailand.

Fedoras can definitely go well with a leather jacket. I'm sure you have more than a couple that can. And with your good looks, you can definitely make them work together.

Thanks Steve, many kind words here. I am definitely learning that my health is still fragile. It is very disappointing - I thought I was stronger than this. Moving out is taking its toll.

But yes, the payoff is Malaysia and Thailand, so I persist…

My vintage hat made for McManus & Riley, a men's clothing store based in Albany, NY that closed in 1967. Based on the plastic tip liner, my best guess is that this lid is from the 1950s but please let me know if you have more accurate dating information.

The hat shape, proportions, trend in color, and little black sweat scream '60s to my eye. Could it be 1950-'60? Maybe. Wear it well and keep stylin'. My long face doesn't support brims that stingy. My humble opinion.

Thank you! I agree with your assessment. The black sweatband, in particular, would make the 60s a really strong possibility. I also have a longish face but I do love wearing the stingy-brims.
