This one had super thin, floppy felt. Unlined, but probably started out with a liner. Thin sweatband.

This is an early Adam, dating from the 1930s. It has a thin ribbon, and is made of brown fur felt.
Brock Pork Pie
This Brock porkpie is from the late 1950s. The size tag is very similar to what was going into Stetsons and Mallorys of the period. I wonder if this was made under license or if it was just a coincidence.

1945 Poulton Fedora
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.
