A 1950s version of the Stetson Stratoliner- named after the famous Boeing 307. Some color bleed on the felt of this one from the sweatband.

Christy’s England Fedora
Call it a fedora, call it a trilby. It’s super thin fur felt with a thin ribbon. Unlined for warmer weather wear.
Vintage in the ’80s
Vintage clothes in the early ’80s. Even the new pieces in the picture would be considered vintage now.
’30s vintage hat, ’20s vintage pince-nez, bowtie, ’70s jacket, vest, plaid shirt, jeans and hiking boots. What a look.

Viking Impermeabile
This hat came to me from Italy. With a name like “Viking”, I wonder if it was made there or someplace else?
7X Stetson
A later 7X (non clear beaver) Stetson. Nowhere near as good as the Clear Beaver marked models.
Mallory Fifteen
1950s Mallory Fleetlite. Cost $15 new. Tall, straight sided crown, short brim. Very ’30s proportions, but a ’50s hat.
Dobb’s Stingy
1960s Dobbs Guild Edge stingy brim fedora.
The FitzGerald Special- Boston
1960s Stingy
Sunshine Genuine Panama
This optimo crown panama dates from the 1920s or 1930s. Fairly tight weave. Looks like it may have received the white treatment at some point.
Genuine Milan Weave
A cheap 1960s one-season straw. Low quality milan, low quality trimmings. The only reason so many of these survive is that so many were made.
