A low end unmarked Italian fedora. Nice fur felt, though. Pure lapin.

Rollable Borsalino
A green Borsalino which came to me rolled up in one of those little triangular Borsalino boxes.
Stetson Stratoliner
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.

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.
Adam Adamajestic
This Adam Adamajestic dates from the early through mid 1930s. It has a white fur felt body, tall straight sided crown, and relatively flat, short brim. The sweatband is unreeded.
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.
