It’s always nice when hats are actually dated. Eliminates a lot of guesswork. This hat was made by Poulton’s of Harrisburg, PA. Built to a standard not down to a price.

Low Crown back bow Borsalino
This is an unusual style of hat. Wide brim, low porkpie crown, back bow, slightly fuzzy finish.
Custom Made Water Proof
Custom made supposedly, but not marked as to by whom.
Mallory Aristocrat
This hat dates from the 1950s- post Stetson buyout. Similar to the Stetson Whippet in dimensions and trimming. It looks like this hat had a factory blocked crown as opposed to coming open crowned.
Knox Homburg
Not just fine- Superfine!
This hat runs the casual end of homburgs. Brown, front dents, rust colored binding. I got this and a similarly colored Stetson Flagship in trade for a thin ribbon 1950s Mallory, which suited, and fit the client much better.
1930s boots
1930s Red Wing tall brown leather lace up boots. Super narrow width and small size. Marked Red Wing at the top of the shaft. I think they’re even the original laces. Not sure if these are Mens or Womens.
Florsheim Spectator Shoes
Modern Florsheim leather and linen spectators. Not up to the quality standards of vintage Florsheims, but you could do worse than picking a pair up.
1930s Stetson Standard Quality
This 1930s Stetson is an interesting casual model, with a felt ribbon and triple stitched brim edge. The brown felt has a slightly fuzzy finish. It is “Standard Quality” felt, it is unlined, and it was sold by Hurds.
1930s Stetson Homburg
Brown 1930s Stetson homburg. Great imprints on the sweatband. Excellent condition.
Florsheim austerity wingtips
Grainy brown leather on these 1950s/1960s wingtips. Note that the wingtips are just punch and stitch patterns, not actually an overlay.
