Hey there! I’m not certain about the trolley. You are more of a hat aficionado than I am. I have a hunch you are much closer to being correct. It was on the hat when I purchased it a while back. The hat was presented as old and authentic. From your knowledge, I bet the seller was mistaken. Hope all is well back your way today.
Thank you, Dave!
I’m no dating expert. Just willing to be wrong and throw out some unstable guesses that, airy now and then, lands upright!
UltraMax hat right there, Max!!
Either you live closer to London than I thought or you have a very fast car. This one is the old Tress&Co factory in London (UK)
.Superb hats both of them, Eric."The Brock" was my hat choice for a morning walkabout.
Home and working with a rake in a vintage spiral stitched fedora.

Wonderful homburg, Matt. Nice classic look to it.Grey Mossant Homburg - thanks to Daniele!
Great hat, Bill. Hope everything went well.
Looking suitably epic in the pics, Brent.
Very nice, Joe. I think the treating of the felt to be more water-repellent did have some influence on the felt and especially the ability to shape them. I've had some German hats that were treated, that are difficult to shape as well.View attachment 330537
Mr Disney - Windsor Fifteen
4 3/4 crown as shaped - about 5 1/2 Open
2 inch grosgrain ribbon with gills
2 1/2 brim with Cavanagh edge
Wind Trolley
This Disney Windsor 15 checks off a number of boxes. I’ve wanted a wider brim Disney so this 50s Mr Disney with a two and a half inch Cavanagh edge brim definitely fits the bill. The 2 inch gills ribbon is definitely a kicker. And top it all off got it for a great deal! As this appears a 1950s hat... this one is likely made by Lee Hats and definitely has some Lee characteristics such as the DuPont water repellent. The felt is very smooth and fairly dense. I don’t think it’s had much of a pinch previously so it’s not super obedient on side dents. But that will come with time or a bit of steam.
This 2 1/2 brim fills out my grey and black Cavanagh edge line up fitting in perfectly between my 2 3/8 Resistol Kitten Finish and 2 7/8 Mac Lachlan which now range from 1 3/4 to 2 7/8. Oddly enough.. I don’t think there is an actual Cavanagh branded hat in the bunch

The medical team is bound to take you seriously with that hat on, Bill.
Well, it works! Cool pic.
Excellence in every way, Fabio.
These hats will take the blues away for anyone. Stellar.Blue themed morning. A Monson gill ribboned fedora was my choice for a morning dog soiree.
Home I moved some bags of mulch in a blue 30's Canadian Kennsington fedora.
Cheers, Eric -
Wow! That's all I can say really.
Oooh and aaah, Max. Just look at the way that felt creases.
Super nice bowler, Ross. Great catch.
Really like the look of that Cross Country. Want one!

Thank you, B! It is even more than I imagined it to be
It is just the way it stays when I grab it from the pinch. The shape of my fingers stays, like the felt was made of play doh
