Stetson 3X Beaver Fifteen. It’s a DARK navy blue and the condition is fantastic. The open crown measures approximately 5 1/2 inches and the brim is 2 5/8 inches wide.

That's great Brent! I've been on a blue hat kick as of late. Shame it's already spoken for.

This old Mallory Century has some condition issues, but it was too cool to not bring home.

5 1/2” open crown and 2 3/4” overwelt brim. The brim welt stitching is fantastic. Unfortunately there is some light moth damage.

I’m thinking this Whippet is late 1940s or early 1950s. The crown is 5 1/2” tall and the brim is 2 3/4” wide. The color is a gorgeous vivid blue between Royal and navy...maybe cadet?

S. J. Fraenkel Wien, "Arola", 58 cm possibly late 1950s. This is my first S. J. Fraenkel Wien Homburg Hat find in my size range. The felt is of a heavier weight but still dry creases and has a soft hand. The components and workmanship are of excellent quality. This Homburg Hat was made specially for Thom. Janout Linz Hat Sales K.G.. Back in 2018 I fond a catalog from Thom. Janout, Hat Manufacturer Upper Austria, Linz, Austria (1924) so they stopped producing hats possibly after WWII.

The first hats of the New Year.
Our Hornskovs turned up on New Year's morning. Finally, we got to say Merry Christmas to each other!

My "Broker" in camel with a moss ribbon. This has a bigger more imposing crown than I expected, but that's OK. I think I'll enjoy wearing it.

My wife's "Low Author" also in camel but with a wine ribbon.

Looking good. Someone must have dumped a lot of Peen Crafts on the market.
Thanks, Randy. I hope that it's true and the others will show up!

Nice! Love the NRA tag too, makes dating easy. :)
Thank you, Brent!

Thank you! It sure does look like it . What do you think the age is? Late 40s/ early 50s?
Your guess is as good as mine I'm afraid.

Whoa! That is a beauty indeed, Brent. No wonder it's already spoken for. Always seems to be the case with beauties!

This hat has NOT been spoken for so feel free to send me a PM if you want to save it from its fate on eBay.
Nice find, Brent. I'm not much of a fan of overwelts, but they can be done right and it looks like this Mallory is an example.

You could start a bidding war with that one, Brent!

Congrats on the new hats, Gary. Good colours. The brim curl on yours looks nice and even.
