PORTIS PATH

Thanks 40! I'd like to see more ephemera on the Portis Bros besides magazine ads & matchbook covers, if anyone has anything. Any old catalogs out there?

With you on that HJ. LOTS of matchbook covers for some reason. Portis was an excellent hatmaker from the examples I have. It would be nice to know more about them.

They obviously spent money on promotions & magazine advertising.

Gray Portis derby @ 7-1/8. I have no connection to this listing. I only wish it was my size.

+1! Hard to top a Portis for a first class vintage experience. That is a great panama highlighted with the usual Portis super-style'n ribbon (pug) work.

Now I know who was bidding on this beauty! I would have bid higher but have a very similar Portis. It's an awesome hat. Congrats, Anthony!

This is mine. I need to take some updated photos of it.

Portis Tissue-Lite acquired from a fellow Lounger last February. One of my favorite hats, and the liner is so cool even my wife likes it! (these are the Seller's photos)

Thanks! It may be a slightly older but likely not by much. I'm happy for you. It's such a great hat. Reminds me that mine needs a bit more head time.

My favorite brand, congrats Anthony, yours is pristine as well. Some of the sharpest ribbon treatments I've seen are on Portis'

I'd love to get more Portis hats ... they don't turn up all that much.
