My 1940's Hats!

I'm turning green, Solid Citizen. What are those lids with the narrow ribbons? Stratoliners? Open Roads? And what, other than what's embossed on the sweatband, distinguishes one from the other? Felt weight, maybe? I really gotta know, or my sleep will be haunted.

A fine collection of headwear you have there. I'm torn between saying I like IMG#9 or IMG#12 the best, but they're all good :)

Sincerely,
Rob

4. Rob, so you like the Whippet & the Mallory, thanks.

5. Your very welcome Sharpetoys.

6. Not-Bogart13 I bought a group of hats on Ebay & knew it was
Stetson, but didn't find out it was a Whippet till it came.Thank you.

7. Greetings Riccardo yes, the Borsalino is an Alessandria, very light weight.
I'm looking forward to warmer days. Thanks you for taking an interest.

8. Thanks Wild Root, knowing your a 1930's man the Mallory has that look
about it. Wore it to a Greek siver diner several weeks ago & got compliments.

Marc, you're avatar is really funny. Where did you find that statuette?

Those hats are great and well I'm happy for you! That Mallory is just the best! I have two Mallory's and love them to death! I feel so good wearing them! Only the 30's and early 40's ones mind ya!
