Winter is Over.....run about finds continued.......next is another entry for a mid to late 50's Stetson 3X dress fedora. Has a mode edge, GREAT FELT! Hard to capture the color....kind of a light blue/light grey. Has a wind trolley as well as a 2 1/2 inch brim! Only really, really wish it was my size! Size 7:( so set out for trade...... View attachment 162443 View attachment 162444 View attachment 162445
AND THEN....on Sunday.........at an antique show .......sitting on a chair........is THIS AWSOME 30'S STANDARD QUALITY STETSON!!:eek:;) Great wide frayed end, offset ribbon, really nice felt with a goldish lining, has a cream colored sweat (which makes the debossing hard to read). It is a light grey with black ribbon. AND.......AND......AND.......IT IS MY SIZE! So, I just guess I will keep it!:):):):):):):):):):):):):)
It is not new and minty like some of my other finds, but it has character built right in! The awsome bash is as found......and while Standard Quality was the 5 dollar introductory hat to the Stetson line bavk then.....the felt quality still beats the hell out of most any modern fedora!

So I was out again yesterday.....and then found this......

AND THEN, the saint of hats led me to THIS!,:eek::eek::):):):):):):):):):)
YES, a 1940's nice large prorportioned BLUE Adam Executive homburg!! And well, like the Standard Quality Stetson from Sunday.......IT IS MY SIZE!:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
:):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)
Bashed as found......it is going to stay! I removed the sewn in liner as it was rumpled from stacking.....so I will iron it up and place it back......both the liner and well....the whole hat is really, really, clean, and the felt is wonderful!! I have been wanting a blue hommie for some time.
The liner tip is really cool......pleated like a bowler. With the liner removed I got a great shot of the re-order tag. Looks like it was made for a factory store? Original Price: $7.50.......wish I could capture the dark rich color better.....

Cavanagh Homburg. Again, from Adrián. Early 50's, he says. It has the Park Avenue address.
Since I can't have the Cav Scott bought from Moon (he said he wouldn't sell it even if hell freezes over), I figure this is close enough.

Nice! Looks like it has the thin ribbon edge binding which had a brief popularity on homburgs in the mid 1950s. I like the look. I have an identical Cavanagh in navy with rosy ribbon and once owned a Stetson Fifteen with a dated sales receipt. Steve has recently posted some European homburgs with the same brim styling.
