I'm sorry to bother you with this question, it just turned out difficult to find ready answers through the search functions.
So: If our cash check is friendly enough, I might be ready to get a new hat for the winter. Are there any non-vintage hats available that look like, say, a typical 1937/38 hat? (I'm afraid a custom blocking might turn out to be too expensive.)
Please correct me if I write nonsense - I haven't "studied" this in any way, but before my inner eye, that would be:
- a higher crown
- probably a crown that's higher in the front than in the back
- C-crown or teardrop
- front pinches (side pinches would be a bit earlier, wouldn't it?)
- lower medium-wide brim
- not toooo wide hatband
- front drawn down, but maybe already unsymmetrically - in my case, stronger at the right side.
Any ideas?
