Hopkin’s Milan- Made in Baltimore
This is one of the nicer milans I’ve had come through. This and the Resistols. Great body, great quality trimmings and heapings of style. It dates from the late ’40s through mid ’50s.
Canadian Royal Stetson
This Royal Stetson was made and sold in Canada. It has the Canadian style size tag and aquashed markings. The proportions are classic, and the sweatband is (in my opinion) the perfect shade of brown. It dates from the 1950s and I got it at a vintage shop in Kensington Market, Toronto.
Canadian Made Imperial Stetson
Canadian made Stetsons had gold foil tags. This one is also marked with a Canadian retailer’s stamp, so it’s easier to place the location of manufacture. It’s somewhere between a tyrolean and a pork pie in styling.
Winged Hat
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.
