Garrett, Wow! Two beauties! The weave on the first one is amazing!
Che, Thanks! Great source! The paper label doesn't ring a bell. I assume there isn't any company mark. The Mount Everest looks like it might be wool and late 50s early 60s. Is there a paper label? My guess is her source in Germany (or the source's source) is keeping the name brands and larger sizes.

you got some amazing straws that chunky weave , I love it !
Steve
the Kolfer, Lana is some of the best wool ive seen as it is so soft but strong & light & it did pass my water test
Gee the German wool hats are very fine even this MT Everest feels great, & no paper labels or stampings on it
compared to the wool 'may I say Junk' produced here & I probably bought 20+ hats from her & never a moth bite
I've even bought sweaters all good stuff....
Great Quality !
oh yea lots of Maysers & Tonaks & Rockel in the mix
but these no brands are unique & appealing..
Ill dig deeper next month !
yea there must be some great stuff being separated as she said the Borsalinos should not have been in her stacks of hats...

My wide brim Akubra and my stingy brim bowler.
To pull off two separate brims and look great doing it is what I aspire to do.
I have the black stingy brim bowler and the wide for me Akubra.. What brim will survive the everyday street test?
Thank you and best regards.

Very nice boaters, Garrett! The Yeddo straw is very light I expect... what is the weight like in the fancy weave?

Could have been produced in a cordage factory!

COL - I know nothing about the brand other than it's French... Will post more photos in the French hats thread when I find it!

Stetson Royal DeLuxe Open Road. Unsure of exact vintage but it is in terrific condition. I'm unable to find any tags under the sweatband.

Thanks Richard! I'm really liking the French hat you just posted as well. Very nice! OR-style hats are much easier to come by here than European hats, although I picked up a couple of sweet flat caps at an estate sale a couple of weeks ago. One is a British make and one is Portuguese. Too bad my big round head looks so bad in flat caps, but my son looks fantastic in them! He is lucky in that even at age 13 he can put on just about any type of hat and make it look like the hat was made just for him. AND he's one heck of a baseball player! LOL

Thanks. That's what I was thinking based on the size tag but the lack of other tags under the sweatband put some doubt in my mind.

rclark, good looking Open Road sir! My Open Road and Stratoliners have the same size tagging and are of the same vintage and have no tags under the liners of any of them. I am thinking that means they are early 60s models when a lot of reblocking practices started to slow down and the need for the block tags fell off. Just a guess on my part of course.

The Yeddo is quite light as expected but the other boater is hefty.

I just want ONE Stetson with a block tag!
I hear you, Roger! Funny enough, I recently acquired a Resistol Waco and a Resistol San Antonio, both of which have block tags. I estimate they are both from mid to late 60's. I do have a mid-50's Strat with a block tag that I purchased from another member here. It is a great hat!
