Tawny Fawn Fed. Imperial Grade. Sturdy. Hardy. Robust. In another word, STIFF!

Sharp hat Bob! I think the Fed IV suits you rather well! :thumb::thumb:

Thanks for the great pics of the Tawny Fed, Bob. You did a great job creasing it (and accessorizing!).

Bob ; classic look, those Shuron Freeways? look a lot better match to your face than the modern ones
Excellent choice

Thanks for mentioning that. I agree the shape is more flattering. They're called Parade "Q" series and I've never heard of that name. Probably copies.

Passal of Playboys

The black one is one of the oldest Playboy types, vented crown and no stitched brim. The others are 50's.

All are pretty rough and from the same seller. May re-post after TLC rehab.

Bob that crease is great! I love that deep center dent and high side pinches!

+1 re the bash on the Fed IV.

I have a DelMonico Suaza Panama Fedora by Monterrey (sounds like a Salad) coming In... Used and Like new.
Does anyone have any experience or knowledge about this hat ?

Rogera · Oct 19, 2015

Yeah I wanna Playboy myself.

I got this hat the other day at eBay. According to a very faded stamp, it is made in England for Marshall Fields, and is 60% Wool, 40% other. It has a moderately stained sweatband. I'm not sure when it's from.

The hat has no odor, but when I first got it, it smelled slightly of cologne/perfume.

The hat has a 1 7/8" brim. I quite like this hat. All I hope is that there is no ringworm in it.

The hat being worn.

Supertweed Showerproof.

The Marshall Fields stamp.

The feather.

Some stains.

A link to the hat on eBay. Here you can see the Marshall Fields stamp more clearly.

80% wool, 60% other?

That's 140% of hat! If you're worried about any sort of critters or fungi, just hit it with a disinfectant of some sort that you'd use on wool.

Wear it in good health RS.

Oops! I meant 60% Wool, 40% Other!

Thanks!
