Templeform

Templeforn Hats were made by a company called Stylepark Hats long gone. I dont remember where they were located but a little research will turn up an answer.

Stylepark Templeform

OK so I just picked up a pair of hats this afternoon.

One is a near perfect Mallory. The other is a Stylepark Templeform.

The Templeform is going to need some renovation and a liner. But it fits good and I couldn't beat the price!

The tag said something about early vintage, men's hat. It has a thinner almost dark cranberry in color ribbon and the felt is just a tad bit thicker than the Mallory. Since I paid around fifty for both of them, I'm not complaining. But like many I'm wondering what folks know about Stylepark?

Thanks again and I hope folks are keeping cool in this weather!

I am pretty sure I saw a thread about the Stylepark in the past.

 

[Rats Riley]

There actually was plenty.

None had the answers.

Green from John Wanamaker

My Stylepark Templeform Aristo, from John Wanamaker about 50 years ago. Fine flea-market find like most of my hats; turned out to be a go-to I wear with tans as well as greens.

[alanfgag]

I think they do... seems most conformateur imprints show a similar sunflower seed shape.

The brim binding is interesting on that one Alan. I have a couple of Dobbs like that.

Golly Alan, you always find the most awesome hats. That one is a real beaut. I love everything about it. Brim stitching sets it off nicely.

Fantastic colour on that hat. I feel a little green just looking at it.

That is a sharp lid Alan, congrats!

Thanks for your comments... I worked on this hat a little today, steaming and brushing the remnants of previous creases which brought the crown height down lower than I wanted. It responded well to the new diamond bash.

the outdoor shot shows the color accurately.

That's a keeper Alan........great job on the cleaning!!! Great color!!!!!

 

[hatophile]

I like the higher crown, nice job Alan.

 

[alanfgag]

Me too... I was glad that the original low crease blocked out with minimal effort. It's a nicely finished felt.
