Vintage Stack Fedora

I love this hat so much, that I just had to repost it here... it was given to me by a friend of mine a few months ago. It's certainly vintage but in brand new, un-worn condition! It has the wind trolley on it, and the other day I was tempted to use it. I unfastened it from itself and looked at my reflection as I looked to attach it to my person and discovered that it looked ridiculous... has anyone else actually used a wind trolley? I decided if the wind blew my hat off, I'd look a tad less silly chasing after it than wearing the trolley...





Kind regards,
Indy

use it only when very winy and on boats.

great hat

How old is the hat and who was the maker??

This hat is a Stack. Judging from the shape of the crown, I'd guess it's not any newer than 1940s...

Kind regards,
Indy
