A place for all things Hardeman related

To kick it off, here is my C.1920s Hardeman

Gorgeous early long hair in a lavender-esque colorway that shifts to grey depending on the lighting. The felt is extremely soft and lightweight

"This prominent factory building was designed and built for the J. T. Hardeman Hat Co. established in Seattle by Joseph T. Hardeman (1872-1943) c.1909. J.T. Hardeman was Missouri born and arrived in Seattle c.1904 where he initially worked in the dry goods trade. The initial/original location of the hat factory was at 114 King Street; however, in 1920 the operation was relocated to this custom-designed modern factory building ... The factory functioned as a hat manufacturing and wholesale warehouse operation until early 1954"

I've got a Hardeman in my collection although it's probably several decades newer than the one first posted in this thread.

Whitehead & Hoag made novelty items for a good many companies dating well back into the 19th century. They are most known for their pinback buttons (especially campaign buttons). I have at least two different Stetson pinbacks dating to the mid-1890's as well as those made for other hat companies.

Was Hardeman making hats for Montgomery Ward?
