Heritage Collection 1900s Homburg |
---|
Made in the USA About the time of Bollman Hat Company's Founder's death in 1900 and beginning of the leadership of his son George W. Bollman, the Homburg hat was taking its place in hat style history. Popularized in England by Edward VII after visiting Germany and bringing one back as a keepsake, the Homburg is one of the oldest formally-styled hats. As the King of England from 1901 to 1910, Edward was known as "The Peacemaker" for his efforts in fostering good relations between England and other European countries. Perhaps the Homburg was a perk of the King's diplomatic successes, but the style enjoyed its own surprising success in Great Britain and in America. The Homburg resurfaced in the 1970's as the "Godfather" and eventually became an early staple of the hip-hop movement. The Bollman Hat Company contributed its own color and flair during each phase of the Homburg's evolution. Bollman was integral to developing the style's current counter-cultural appeal by creating a variety of diverse colors including sugar pink, burnt orange, lime green and lemon yellow. Approx. 4 1/4" Center Dent Crown 2 3/4" Curled Brim Made of: 100% Wool Felt Printed Leather Sweatband Custom 140th Lining Sizes: S, M, L, and XL; fits true to size. |

Heritage Collection 1940s Pork Pie Hat |
---|
Made in the USA A standard during Jazz's glory age, the Pork Pie gained relevance during a time of worldly transition, as evidenced by its growing popularity among celebrities and public figures. Physicist Robert Oppenheimer regularly wore a pork pie hat during his field studies. Jamaican ska artist Laurel Aitken even wrote the tune "Give Me Back My Pork Pie Hat" as a tribute. Its namesake inspired by the British delicacy, the Pork Pie's distinctive dents around the crown and low flat top was a comfortable look in an unsettling time. Dozens of Bollman Hat Company employees gave their lives serving their country in World War II. The third generation of Bollman family now led the Company and kept in touch with employees serving in the military, and provided regular updates to it's workforce at home on those lost in action, in captivity, injured and those returning home. Some of these letters have been preserved and hang in the hall of the Company's main office today. Approx. 3 1/2" Telescope Crown 2" Underwelt Snap Brim Made of: 100% Wool Felt Printed Leather Sweatband Custom 140th Lining Sizes: S, M, L, and XL; fits true to size. |

Heritage Collection 1860s Wide Awake Wool Felt Hat |
---|
Made in the USA Bollman Hat Company digs deep into the annals of its history to capture and commemorate this long forgotten style. The Wide Awake hat was inspired by the paramilitary campaign organization of the 1860s. The Wide Awakes, affiliated with the Republican Party during the 1860 election, supported Abraham Lincoln and the Union while strongly opposing slavery. The Wide Awakes were well-drilled and served as political police in escorting party speakers and in preserving order at party demonstrations and had over 400,000 estimated members. The standard Wide Awake uniform consisted of a full robe or cape, a torch, and of course the black hat for which we pay tribute. The Bollman Hat Company produced this hat and all of their hats in black only when George Bollman and Isaac Sowers first opened their hat factory in Adamstown, Pennsylvania in 1868. Approx. 3 1/2" Curled Brim 4" Round Crown Made of: 100% Wool Felt Made in the USA Grosgrain Ribbon Hat Band Grosgrain Ribbon Bound Brim Printed Leather Sweatband Custom 140th Lining Sizes: S, M, L and XL; fits true to size. |

Heritage Collection 1880s Topper |
---|
Made in the USA The top hat caused a riot the first time it was seen on the streets of London. The perpetrating "haberdasher" was John Hetherington, the hat's designer, who first adorned the style publicly in 1797. According to a contemporary newspaper account, passersby panicked at the sight and ran in terror. Hetherington was hauled into court for wearing "a tall structure having a shining luster calculated to frighten timid people." He was fined £500. By the 1880's, the top hat was worn by men of every station in life for daily and formal wear without fear of fines. Our Founder, George Bollman, wore this style as he worked to grow his factory and advance the craft of hat making. Bollman shaped these hats on five-piece wooden blocks which were cured in ovens. Our most pronounced "hour glass" shapes are still hand blocked and cured in this method today. Approx. 6 1/8 "Hour Glass" Crown 2 3/4" Hand-Shaped Brim Made of: 100% Wool Felt Hand Finished Printed Leather Sweatband Custom 140th Lining Sizes: S, M, L, and XL; fits true to size. |
