does anybody know where you can buy the old stroker type hats today. they used to be every where but not so much today. the driving type/ golf type are not the same.
Not sure if they'll have what you want but they got a lot of hats. I've bought from them, no issues. https://www.villagehatshop.com/category/75/1/flat-caps.html
https://www.villagehatshop.com/category/309/3/newsboy-caps.html?&Order=13 https://www.villagehatshop.com/prod...iley-massey-cotton-and-linen-newsboy-cap.html Try this. The "newsboy" style is closer to the original Medley Stroker, imho

I think we're about the same age, but I am not old enough to wear that style of hat! Maybe if I still had my O/T Spitfire. Maybe it's a regional thing? Still, I hope you find your dream.
As much as they are dispised here on the hamb Ecklers has the old white blue Ford logo Gatsby/Stroker in stock. HRP https://www.ecklers.com/driving-cap...wY735Stb3GWe_nbr1bBo9UgVhbDpdr3hoCSB8QAvD_BwE
didn't we hash this out just a few years ago? https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/stroker-mcgurk.972805/
Bought this one in ‘73 at the SR Nats, after I quit wearing it when at events it was worn a lot in the garage. It’s suffered lots of grinding, painting, oil changes and more.
Had a NOS of these I sold on that inter web auction site a couple of years back. Guy who bought it said he was going to reproduce them. Don’t know if it came to pass. I just spent the funds received on hot rod parts. Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
Last one I saw was in a Macs autoparts catalogue. I have an old one somewhere. I don't hate them but I don't wear it anymore, I prefer a ball cap with a visor.
Most of Goorin hats are made in the USA. Nice quality. I have a few. I also have a very nice one from Village Hat Shop that I wear a lot. https://www.goorin.com/collections/mens-flatcaps
Thanks to flatheadgary for asking the question, and to those that gave helpful answers. I found what I was looking for because of you guys.
Of course we did! The HAMB would only be about 20% of its size if we didn't keep re-hashing stuff. For that matter, the Linda Vaughn thread would only be about 5 or 6 pages long with out the re-posts. (not complaining)
Your absolutely correct!, the members that have been here for years have heard it on more than one occasion, we just have to remember and keep on mind we get new members every day, sure they could use the search button but what's the fun in that? We all like leftovers, but try to stay away from that stuff in the back of the fridge! Rehashing old subjects just might have a better conclusion than it did in the past. HRP
it is 2020. did you try Amazon? they sell everything. I used to wear those style hats all the time because one size fits all baseball caps didn't fit my giant head. bought mine in Berkeley at the hat store. I recently found some ball caps that fit, and I was thinking finally they make hats bigger for my melon, then I realized the hats are not bigger, I just have much less hair than I used to.
thanks for the replies. hrp gets it. most old threads are not much use when all the sites people point out are dead sites after so long ago. i am building a '23 c cab flatbed truck and it will look like a stocker with the wires and stock rake. hence the hat and white coveralls. ecklers it is. the price is right too.
I used to wear the so-called "newsboy" caps as a kid. They pretty much went out of style for a long time. Various answers to the original question gave me sources to check. I found the brand "Botvela" on Amazon.com. They have the white denim type but it's available in a variety of colors and sell for $14.99. For the more upper crust of you, they also come in a blended wool
i don't buy anything from amazon, if i can help it. as far as my t goes, it will not be hamb friendly. think shay if that helps.
