As far as vintage goes I have never had one so I can't say.

Well,, I have 3 Stetsons, and 3 Biltmores. I love the soft fur on the Biltmores, my Stetson OR is one of my favorites also.

Though I've not pesonally had dealings with them, from the examples of their work I've seen here, Art Fawcett, or Optimo or Gus Miller @ Batsakes would be good choices. Myself, I frequent Peters Bros. here in Ft. Worth as they are local for me. And for mail order, I like David Morgan for my Akubra's as they are an American firm

I don't have one yet, but there's something about Hufvud hats - the Bogart and Ragnar models in particular - that really grabs me. The hat I have that I most treasure is an Art Fawcett in silverbelly with a black ribbon.

This goes for me as well. I may have handled a vintage hat a time or two during my time on this planet, but I only started showing a serious interest in brimmed/fur felt hats since 2008 so, to my knowledge, I don't own any that are truly vintage. I do have two hats--one made by Borsalino, the other by Stetson--that, best guess, were Trilbys in the 1960s or 70s and have since been converted to Pork Pies with Teardrop crowns. Fun, knock-around hats that were clearly worn and enjoyed before they wound up in my mitts, but any comments I make about their origin (except for the company logos on the sweats) are purely uneducated speculation.
