Finally, I'm able to wear Green for the Holidays...

[bolthead]

It may not be the best name in hats, but I've been looking to get a Green hat for awhile now, and finally I can wear one for the Holiday season.

Have any of you ever heard of of a hat brand named "Richman Brothers"? I picked it up on OFAS last week, it didn't cost me an arm & a leg. [huh] It's a nice little hat, the felt is a bit stiff, don't like the sweatband in it and don't care for the little plastic topper in the lining, but overall the hat is in mint shape....can't really put a date on it either though?

It's your basic 4 3/4" Crown with a 2" black grosgrain and a 2" brim. Nice deep Green. I'll probably lose the feather too.... lol

bolthead, Seems like I remember it from the early to mid 60's. I could be mistaken, but the name sounds quite familiar.

And don't forget St. Patrick's Day!

Congrats on the pick up.

That's quite a feather.

 

[indycop]

I like it!:eusa_clap

Looks like a Bolt-Hat to me!
You did good!

 

[Feraud]

I like it. Keep the feather!

I am not sure if it is the same company or not, but when I lived in Atlanta there was a mens store by the same name. If memory serves me, the first fedora I ever bought came from there.

Bud, I think that's where I remember it from, too!

This should tell it all:

I suppose this ain't worth anything anymore.

Nice pick-up bolthead! Great color!

Thanks guys...

thanks for the link JP.

If ur 1st lid was a Richmon Bros., Bud...then it's good enough for me.

Feraud, I probably will keep the feather...lol

Razz, it is a great color...it's actually a bit darker than shown.

RBH....it is indeed a "Bolt-Hat" [huh]

 

[OldSkoolFrat]

Keep the feather.... or better yet, send me the feather.

Bolthead, That hat looks like it was made for you. :eusa_clap

 

[Tango Yankee]

Looks like you've found yourself another winner, Bolthead! :eusa_clap

I sure wish I could wear a stingy brim the way you can, but they just don't look right on me.

Cheers,
Tom
