Vintage Herbert Johnson flatcap, made in Scotland. Not sure about the era... There's plastic over the crest, so it can be no earlier than 50's. The size tag is embroidered, not printed... Modern-modern HJ flatcaps don't seem to have the plastic protection on them so... My gut says 60's or 70's? I welcome your speculations! =)

The new Prada is a great looking hat. I really like that ribbon color with the felt color.

Beautiful hats, Michael!
Thanks Fabio.

Impressive, love that coat.
Thanks Red. The coat is a Montgomery Ward product, I think from the 1960s.

Yes the liner is iridescent and color shifts from green to purple

That is one sweet hat Justin. They call the color shifting liner material shot silk. The warp is one color and the weft a different color and depending on the angle of viewing you see one, or the other, or a mixture of the two which often makes a 3rd color altogether.
