    The Bowler or Derby Hat

    Dunn & Co, mint condition, Ebay find. They´re not that common in my vulgarly huge head size, but this one fits perfectly. I don't know if the tag "10/83" says anything about the hat's age, maybe I could get assistance from one of the experts present? Now I just need a decent Lock & Co, a nice...

    The Bowler or Derby Hat

    Now, this little fella really makes me happy. Made by Swedish millinery Karlskrona Hattfabrik (hat factory), bought at a local auction site. Doesn't appear to have been used at all, note the blue/golden tag that no one even seems to have bothered to remove. Best thing is it fits like a silk...

    Steur – this is exactly why you should always hang out with the very best. What a game changer! All it took was the mildest of karate chops on the crown – and voilá, a homburg! You were so right! When I saw it it was obvious, but I never would have guessed. Thanks a lot! And also to you...

    The Bowler or Derby Hat

    Morning! A Stetson made in and bought from Canada. The plastic brylcreem protector and logo dates it to mid/late fifties, right? Very good condition but with an unfortunate dent on the ”forehead”. I prefer lower crowns myself, but maybe these higher ones just takes some time getting used to...

    The Bowler or Derby Hat

    Morning all. Been following this eminent forum for some time and very slowly starting to build up a modest collection of my own. This one I’m quite fond of. Size 59, made by Christys for legendary (and now long gone) Swedish clothing company MEA. Excellent condition, no idea how old. Now I...
