Hello, I am looking for the Mr. John's rights owner or representative. Mr. John (or John P. John) is an American milliner, very famous the world of hat in the 40's and 50's. Do you have any information on this matter please ? Thank you in advance ! Best, Gauthier

I bought this hat yeas ago because I was told it was made for someone at Buckingham Palace. It doesn’t fit so now I want to either sell it or swap it for two new hats Iv saw in a vintage shop but I want to know the around figure it’s worth. It’s says made in England under license but I...

Some friends donated this hat to our vintage clothing collection, they knew nothing about it and neither do we. I haven't been able to find other examples of this style of hat online, but I'm far from a hat expert, and I don't even know what to call this style, much less date it. It is...

Hello everyone! Thank you for creating this wonderful site. I have a hat which I can't seem to identify. Originally I thought it might be a Mr . John but it just doesn't look like any of his labels I have seen. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Sam

Any information on Blue Mound. Have not found any info on the Millinery Association of America either (but it was approved by the National Committee on Correct Style). I'm dating this cloche to 1920s

Hi all! Picked this up today for a couple of dollars at a thrift store. Does anyone have any info about this hat? The style? The material used (what is the black decoration made from - a type of feather?)? What date? The label says John Fredrics Inc. New York. Thanks!

This hat was passed down to me. Can anyone date it or give me anymore info Thanks in advance Neil Bonwit not Bomwit!

Hello all, I recently found a Mr John fur hat, but even after looking at the VFG fur guides, am still wondering if I'm on track with identifying the fur type? It feels so soft and fine, with a fluffy undercoat, so I'm leaning towards rabbit. Can anyone tell from my photos if I'm correct? Any...

Hello. Can anyone help me with this hat? I've tried to do a Google search and only turned up an actress named Hilde Hildebrand. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello y'all! Second time posting on here looking to see if anyone knows any info about a label. I have found a few sold listings on Etsy with the Ranel Originals label, but no info. As I keep going through my grandmothers things, I keep finding goodies in excellent condition, figuring out if I...

hi, I need some help dating these two hats. Also, I was wondering what style they were. Thanks so much, Nichole

Hello, In preparing to list an 1897 issue of this journal, there were no other examples anywhere online that I could find of recent sales or the best places to offer issues of this magazine. In fact, other than the description of the magazine at the Library of Congress, there was nothing at...

What would you call the style of this Mr. John hat? I was thinking helmet?

Hello everyone! Could I have some help with this hat, please? The style is like a swim cap, what style name is appropriate? (Cloche?) I'm thinking 60s, please correct me if I'm wrong. And I'm also hoping someone can offer an opinion on fur type. Thanks so much! (Pity the hat is on the small side.)

Hi, Does anyone know if there was a milliner in the famous Shaheen family? Possibly back in the 1940s and 1950s? B

Hello Everyone! Had an amazing weekend thrifting. Have searched for a directory of Schiaparelli headwear and am defeated trying to find this hat. The label appears to be 1950's? How can this style be described? There is also a small worn spot where the felt has been pulled but not a through and...

I am interesting in learning about these three hats - anything about the label, and dating them. thank you for help!

Hi- just discovered the wealth of data on this website. Truely amazing. Hoping you all can help me. I just acquired this beautiful black ladies hat and am trying to identify the material. At first I thought it was a brushed wool, but kind of resembles a short hair and is very soft (feels...

I'm just in the learning stages regarding vintage hats. What can you tell me about this one. It has a cloth Schiaparelli Paris label like the 1950's hat label in the VFG library. The body is stamped Imported body, Milady, Made in the United States. This seems contradictory to me....an...

I'm looking at a deep cloche hat in pale pink straw with the most extravagant lining and label I've ever seen, it matches the one in the resource with pink ribbon loops either side with diamantes on, currently dated as 70's, but this one also has a minature red chiffon bow sewn on at the bottom...

I sold a Burberrys' hat that had the store tag still on it and it was in the original gift box. I was helping a friend go through theclosets full of designer clothing at this estate he was hired to appraise and the hat was found down the basement. Last night, I get a message from the buyer that...

I found this Mr. John hat while thrifting yesterday and wanted to know what the name for this style is? I found the label in the label source guide here but I'm still not sure if this hat is 60s or 70s. Any info would be great, thanks!

Hello, Would this be considered a bowler? It seems so flat for that, but it does look like one to me. What age would you say this is? Thank you!

I stupidly bought a hat on Ebay seconds before the auction was finished, and so didn't have time to look at the details. It is black leather with a wide black rabbit fur brim. Inside it has a cream and pink Schiaparelli Paris label but underneath the black grosgrain tape there is another label...

:hiya: Came across this really sweet pierre balmain hat! I was examining the tag though and while it does look like a tag from 1945, it says "adaptation of" Pierre Balmain Paris. I haven't ever come across "adaptation" on a tag before. Does anyone know what this means exactly? Sounds like...
