@RowlandK: How about an Adams hat? I remember the jingle "I go for a man that wears an Adams hat." There also was an Adams hat store in the heart of town in my area in my youth.

Looks like it could be Dobbs, only a guess, though.

My Dad had a Dobbs hat (still have it along with it's square black-with-gold-logo box) that looks just like Don's hat....right down to the little feather.

(the hat Don wore to mail the book to Anna is the one I am referring to here)

Someone posted this a long time ago and Clayton chimed in with a post that he would look into it. I can't remember if he ever posted the answer or not...Clayton?

He's wearing a hat by Lock of Saville Row. My grandfather used to wear the same in Moscow.
