I dunno. Both the tag and the oilskin liner pushes the date back. The tag, with block, depth, and the rest does, as well Your estimate is as good as any.

A Twenty dollar hat back then was quite the hat.

I just googled it: Alejandro Ignacio?

His name is Ignacio Reyes. Sombrerería Escandón. Daniel sent you his Yelp.
This is a newspaper article about him. He's also had TV interviews.
I have spent many hours with him while he's working on my hats. He thinks he overcharges us because we're gringos, but he is still very inexpensive, so we don't complain.

Thanks for your help, Frunobulax. You all have such nice lids here. No one I know in my county, or counties around, wears nice fedoras... that I know of.
Course, I live in a very rural area. Nothing out here but planted pines.

Looking over at the Hatted Professor, I would guess it is a 50s hat. According to him the reorder tags from Hat Corporation of America changed around then.

I think there is a lot more info on the School of Hard Knox thread, but honestly it is a real pain to read through all the posts to find that one piece of information...

Both are great outfits in their own way, Michael. My vote goes to the Knox though.

Thanks Stefan. I'll give the nod to the Knox as well. But it was a day of many hats here.

Looks great. Have we heard where it was made yet?

Fantastico! Niente di più o di meno

Thanks Daniele. I've very much been enjoying your autumn season hats display. All very nice.

Yesterday and today Michael....am feeling the need to chant.
Am curious what type of mushrooms you’ve been finding lately!!

The good edible kind, but not the entertaining kind. Maybe I should try hunting in the new robes? I have noticed my smoke rings have improved.

Great color combo on that one, Bill. Lovely bit of hat art there.

Thanks,

Thanks Dale. The thrifts are boom and bust, but you are welcome to visit any time. As predicted, the Noble Grand got some use this morning, along with another smoking cap.

Welcome. That's the beauty of the internet. It's easy to find like minded people.

As I mentioned, it was a day of many hats here today. Out in the rain on the bike for a couple of hours under the Filson Tin Cloth packer

And now I'm sitting here under an OR, but no photos, fortunately.

Have a good evening. Think it's about bedtime here,

Date night with the Lee Silver label to celebrate the 5-yr wedding anniversary:

My mug wasn't always so ugly:

Though did someone say Fu-Manchu:

Turned out to be a nice Saturday. Hope you guys had a great day too.

Thanks RBH. I have to say I like his look, but the mustache seems a little high maintenance. I wonder if I have a round fur hat like that one.

Thanks,
Michael

Good evening. Thanks for sharing folks. The variety and styles abound.

Afternoon errand was run while wearing a mint hued Penny's Marathon. It is a minty mint hat. Really, really.

A Bantam was my fedora for some deck time.

Best, Eric -

Today....it’s easy to get spoiled hat collecting. How often do we ignore or dismiss a fine hat so as to wear a favorite?
I know i do often and always feel obsessive when i remember those not worn.
So...a lovely old Strat that’s been lost in the crowd far too long rides the day.
Be well. Bowen

Perfect !

Ha ha, love the Fu-Manchu !

I sported one for a short while myself back in the day.

I like it. Good fall color. Princeton hats? North America?

Thanks, Reggie. It says Boston on the liner, but much more likely of German manufacture with a fancy brand name to sell it.

Just give it a brim up Stefan.
Love to see that!!

Thanks, Bowen. I'm sure Fleur of Penumbra will be able to make a fine hat out of it.

A question, Stefan, who doesn't want to be absolutely provocative. The two hats (very beautiful) have a similar color and the shape also has similarities. Without being overshadowed by your passion for Borsalino what are the differences you find in the two hats?

Thanks, Daniele. That's a very valid question actually and I did compare the two after the Princeton hat came home with me. Before buying it I did consider that I already have quite a lot of hats in this colour scheme and of similar shape and proportions. "Yes, but it has this nice coloured ribbon and cool bow design! Go on then: buy it!" That's the sound of me talking myself into buying another hat.
Maybe it's because it does come close to the classic Borsalino design that I liked it. I have compared the two and have set both next to the Mayser in brown I was wearing earlier this week. The Princeton and the Mayser are very alike, with the edge going to the Mayser just a tiny bit when it comes to the hand of the felt. And that's where the Borsalino leaves both of them in the dust. Extremely smooth to the touch and the felt just goes anywhere you want and stays there.

Good to see a benchsitter getting some playtime, Bowen.
