Men’s William Lyons Black Fine Felt Bowler Hat – size 7 1/8, 1920s
$250
About
A mainstay for both noblemen and commoners, the bowler was the chosen headwear of outlaws, bankers, Prime Ministers and vaudevillians because its low crown kept it from being knocked off the head in high winds and its rigidity withstood being misshapen when stomped. Made in Massachusetts, this one was likely worn with pinstripe trousers, a Crombie coat and a turned walking stick. Vintage bliss.
Black fine felt bowler hat with matching 1 ½” grosgrain band and flat left side bow; wrapped in black grosgrain around brim edge. Unlined with leather interior fitting band. Gold stamped with Wm Lyons & Son logo and perforated with original owner’s monogram (“GHD”) on interior leather band.
