Dermotta Wien, 58 cm, possibly mid 1950s. The paper label is washed out so no model or quality information. Dermotta Wien are less common especially Snap Brim Soft Felts so happy to make this find. The Green Felt has a very nice finish and fine hand. Great form with a lighter green mid width Band and Brim Binding.

New to me Royal Stetson. It still needs a bit more cleaning and shaping. This one is significant to me, however, not for the way it looks, but from the store it originally was sold in. Jack Krawcheck in Charleston, SC was open from 1922-1995. It was the men's store in my hometown when I was growing up, serving Charleston's finest gentlemen. I did not know the original Mr. Krawcheck, but I had met his son who ran the business after him. His granddaughter, Sallie, went on to become the CFO of Citigroup and the CFO of both Citi and Bank of America. Very pleased to have found this one.

It's always enjoyable to find a hat that has a personal connection, Jeff.

Nice find!

Such interesting ties to your younger years. Wish I had visited the store during my first visit to Charleston in June, 1987. Great find!

Picked up this basically unworn 'Beaver 20' by Greeley Hat Works. This and the Stetson 'Three Way' box were $109 + tax at a couple of antique stores I visited in Colorado. The hat was made for Steven Wells.

The photos were here ... and now they aren't. Not a problem I've run into before - they were IMGUR files.

Heck, the box alone might go for that much.

I don't normally buy hat boxes, but I also have an original 'three way' print ad, and for $21 I figured I could store one of my Stetsons in it.

Back when I was an avid collector I must have had 20-30 boxes stacked up all over my studio condo, and that ain't ever happening again. I've seen pictures of various forum members' stacked boxes, so I realize 20-30 is practically nothing :p
