Second is a fedora from little remembered Barrister... a bit of FL talk on this brand here. It's actually quite a nice small company hat made with good quality felt. Liner is taped rather than sewn. The hat arrived with a handsome JTL style teardrop bash - in very good condition save for a bit of tonic stain on the liner. The color is mauve, aubergine gray...

Another elegant hat. You're very good at picking them.

Hey Bernie, yes it does! So much eye candy and information here.

S_M_Cumberworth: I would really like to see a picture of you in a smaller crown, so that we can have a comparison. You seem to have a thin stature, as do I, and I look differently when wearing hats that are not low crowned. Do you have any other pictures of smaller crowns to post for comparison?
That is a quality hat that you are sporting. The gray looks great with that outfit.

Certainly.

I am rather thin, and the two hats imbue me with two rather different characters.

the photo on top gives a much stronger vintage 60's vibe with the glasses and stingy; and in a way suits you better. But i like the wider brimmed Mallory myself as it looks sharper.

All Norwalk today--Cavanagh wide brim

5-5/8" x 2-11/16+". Yes, thats a Cellophane clear liner protector on a 40's hat--not the later soft plastic. I wonder how many hats had these and they just didn't survive. Has a deep center crease and deep front pinches and does not desire to be snapped-nor does it show signs that it was. Color is Chocolate.

If I may be so bold as to weigh in on the subject - both look good, but I think the wider brim hat looks better on you.

Picked these up today. A Resistol and a Bergshire. The Bergshire seems to be quite old. Also got another nice triple box and another stretcher.

Buler: 3 hat box, great find. Both hats look in great shape. My favorite is the black. Is the black one the Bergshire?

Thanks, yes the black one is the Bergshire. You can see more pics and detail in the "Pre 40s Dress hats" thread.
