    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Stetson Sovereign Beaver Twenty. I'm thinking it's a late 1940's hat. I'll have more to say when it arrives and I post it on the Stetson Sovereign thread.

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    This isn't a hat I'm waiting for, but an interesting hat-related item I ran across that you all might appreciate. It measures in inches and French lignes.

    Thank you, Stefan. Yes, I figured it would be high quality, which is what made it irresistible to me.

    CHURCHILL HATS

    Churchill Pure Beaver with a ribbon taken from another hat. Saved me the trouble of sending it off for a ribbon. Plus I'm always nervous about sending rare hats away, that they'll get lost or stolen and I always worry until I get them back.

    STETSON 7x CLEAR BEAVER QUALITY

    Assuming that is a 1951 hat, I'm really a bit surprised to see that type of mfg tag appear that early.

    Does the sweatband logo have stars or a maple leaf?

    Pre 1940s (non-Stetson) Westerns

    This hat finally arrived. Has 4 inch bound brim and 6 1/2 inch open crown. There are no mfg tags and nothing written or stamped on the sweatband, which has the old VVVV type stitching. I'll be sending it off for cleaning and a new sweatband.

    Here's another oldie that's arriving tomorrow and needs serious help. Unknown maker, 4 inch brim, about 6 inch open crown. Looks to date to 1930's or earlier.

    It's incredible that these hats were preserved from the steamboat Arabia.

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    I'm guessing around late 40's or 50's on the Borsalino. I have a real similar one. Steur says about 1954 to 1960, and he knows way more than I do.
