Sold in the early 1960s by the Hopkings Gruber Co of Hagerstown, MD. This hat cost $15 new.
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.
I think Men’s Hats Inc. may have been related to Hopkin’s of Baltimore. Maybe a later iteration of it?
This hat is a milan straw and dates from the 1960s.
Why should ’60s Nashville stars have all the fun? Found this original suit on eBay. Sadly, the pants are much too short. Definitely not an all-the-time thing, but it puts a smile on my face to drag it out from time to time.
The Stetson Stratoliner is arguably one of Stetson’s best known hat models. Named after the airplane, it had fedora blocking and a thin ribbon. This one, sourced in Frederick, Maryland, saw a lot of wear in its life.
