Hermes? Mercury? Is that you?
Photo taken early 1980s by Michael G. Stewart. I wonder if that distinctive winged trucker cap was a promotional piece- Mobil gas perhaps?

Emerson Straw
A cheap one-season-er straw hat by Emerson.
Resistol Straw
Resistol milans are my personal favorites. They really did a good job- high quality bodies, wild trimming, and good sweatbands.
Extra Quality Marathon
This hat was made in the 1930s and was sold by J.C. Penney’s under the Marathon house brand.
Panizza fedora
Italian made, Italian sold. Interesting stitching on the side of the crown.
Stingy Stetson Milan
This vintage straw hat was made in the 1960s by the John B. Stetson Company. It has an extremely tapered crown.
Genuine Imported Braid Custom Made
“Custom Made”. Nice soft finely done milan on this. Cheap fabric covered sweatband. It dates from the 1960s.
Ventilated Genuine Panama
This panama dates from the 1950s. It isn’t a particularly fine weave, but it should breathe well.
Classic Quality Hats
This was a good little cheap summer hat. I got it at an antique shop somewhere, but I can’t remember exactly when or where. It was a lightweight, cheap paper straw, and was fairly modern.
Stetson Milan
This Stetson summer milan was sold by Zachry of Atlanta, GA.
