Among a few new (for me) Milan vintage hats I had been fortunate enough to obtain, I run across this little gem of a hat, and the price tag was so low, geez, I've spent more on a cup of coffee and donut! LOL! Sort of a hat that reminds you of your "grandpa" and I have to say, in the hot weather, this hat simply is the cats "meeeow"! If you like to drink ice tea, sit on the porch and watch the grass grown, or even mosey on down to Elroy's Bait, Tackle & Diner, then this is the type of hat you want to own and wear. Weeeeeeeeeee Haaaw! lol!

... . What age is this labeled Royal DeLuxe Stetson OR???
...

Your photos are too small to see any details on the crest or size tag which are the good age indicators.
Offhand, I'd go late 50's/early 60's....

Thanks, I know you like your Stetsons. My cameras peaked in the film era. Just using the flip phone now for convenience but not for quality.

Mallory Ten Pliafelt.

Elegant Homburg, measures 59cm. I believe it's from a East German source and is pre WWII. The liner is soiled but overall condition is good. No paper label.

 

[ofcoursemyhorse]

That is elegant.

Ofcourse and Steve, two great looking hats, my Congrats, Gentlemen.

OCMH, Thanks! Fantastic Mallory Ten Pliafelt!

Mayserwegener and OCMHorse have outdone themselves. Fantastic, fine felt finds, fellas!

 

[ManofKent]

Nice finds. I particularly like that Mallory.

My first Panama!!

Modern-ish Barlesoni Panelite straw. This was a nice find on Etsy. Only $15~!

The seller said it was vintage, but the sweatband looks pretty new. Needed a light cleaning, so I used a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, which worked great! Decent quality and very lightweight. Great for the upcoming Hot-Hat-lanta summer weather!!

Looks good, A'n'A. That should serve you well in the Georgia heat.

AnA, very nice!!

This arrived today.
1920s Deadstock Cap.

I like this one alot. I am unsure if I want to remove the size label, as it sits on the underside of the brim, or leave it there...

More photos can be found in The Cap Faction.

Nice looking cap there.

 

[g.durand]

Wow, Justin, that is a nice one. I vote for leaving the label.
