I appreciate your opinion and you're entitled to it. I have written several historical books which were on Amazon. When doing my research if I couldn't find the information I was looking for, I would then ask those in the field who had firsthand knowledge of what I was writing about. Nothing...

Well, professor, first of all I did know that the Mr. Disney logo was introduced in 1947, because I did go to the link you provided. I also went to the link on the history of Disney Hats and looked at every single pic on there. All this was done before I posted my question, and I was careful to...

No worries, you didn't hurt my feelings, so don't flatter yourself. But thanks for thinking you did, I appreciate that.

I read just fine. If you can't give a reasonable answer to any question, then please keep your mouth shut. This question was posted on "The Disney Diner" which is what the heading is at the top of this page. I was responded to with a sigh remark from Frunobulax and given the link to "The...

Does anybody have any info as to whether the labeling of "Disney Hats" predates the "Mr. Disney" labeling and is the "Dupont Airidex" indictive to the 1940s or 1950s?

I have a question about the Disney Hats. Does the labeling "Disney Hats" precede the "Mr. Disney" labeling and is "Dupont Aridex water repellent" indictive of the 1940s or the 1950s?

Wow, thanks for the pic and info on that bow treatment. This is one of the things that threw me off on the hat. I've seen that bow treatment on earlier ones which was confusing to me. Perhaps Stetson brought it back again at a later time.

Good questions. I looked under the sweat band and there aren't any labels at all and the liner is sewn in. The only #'s printed on the sweat are 570316.

Wow, very interesting and I really appreciate the advice. You're right, the ribbon and bow treatment are identical. Dating these hats can really be anyone's guess at times. I really appreciate the pics. Wow, thank you Bill.

Wow, thank you so much. I looked under the band but there wasn't a single label. And I agree with the transitional theory with the combination of the size tag style and sweat being black.

Thank you for the info and I really appreciate that.

Hi Bill, I wanted to post pics of the hat as I received it today. I hope this gives you a good indication of the uniqueness of it. The shape is as I received it. It's interesting for sure as it has a great snap brim. The backend of the ribbon is an unusual factory touch and the felt is...

Will do. Thanks for the information.

First of all, you are trying to make a point. Secondly, what you call "hijacking someone else's thread" is about as absurd as you can get. I was told by another member to post it on the "ask a question" forum and also the "Stetson" forum. And third, maybe you don't post pics of your hats whether...

Thanks Bill, I appreciate the insight and I'll definitely post pics for you to take a look. Thanks again Bill.
