    I texted the seller to see if the hat has Stetson tags or a Lot Number. I'll let you know if he responds.

    Stetson Number 1 Quality "The Fray" that's on eBay now. It's being claimed to be a military hat from about the 1880's. I have no idea if true, but the sweatband and Stetson logos look just like Stetsons from the early 20th Century.

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Stetson Number 1 Quality. I'm guessing it's a late 1930's hat. The sweatband looks like a hot mess, but I think the hat has potential, once I get it reshaped to suit me.

    The Disney Diner

    I'm always glad to see The Hatted Professor make an appearance on The Lounge and getting a Thumbs-Up from him makes me feel like, at least occasionally, I'm on the right track, in spite of what my critics may think.

    The Disney Diner

    Lo and behold! I happened to find an extra ribbon for a straw boater laying around my house that someone sent me along with some hat I bought in the past, and this ribbon fits my Disney perfectly, although it's not exactly historically accurate. So at least my Disney is wearable now!

    The Penney's Marathon

    J C Penney's Marathon boater, made in Baltimore, where the Solar Straws hats had been made for Penney's. Don't know if Penney's bought Solar Straws or had always owned the Solar Straws brand name or what exactly happened. This hat is on eBay.

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Here's another but earlier Solar Straws hat for J C Penney's that Brent posted on The Boater Faction thread in September 2020.

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Solar Straws Panama hat made for J C Penney's. Notice that on the sweatband that it's shown in the same type of logo used for Marathon hats from around the 1940's period or so. I'm starting to wonder if Solar Straws was actually a made-up in-house brand like Marathon was.

    Wow! Thanks for that. No wonder it doesn't feel like a ribbon! That's my first time encountering such a thing.

    Additional pics of my Disney boater, now that it has arrived. Hat was priced at $6.50. The ribbon needs replacing and someone sewed over the existing ribbon.

    The Penney's Marathon

    Marathon Extra Quality. Has 2 3/4 inch brim and 5 1/4 inch open crown. The hat has been stretched some, so the brim might have been 2 7/8 originally. Priced at $3.98, that has to be back in time a bit.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    If it's sewn in, maybe it is original. I sure don't claim to know everything. Nice hat anyway.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    I'm not sure that liner is original to the hat. Nothing about the liner says Mallory to me. Just what I suspect.

    I'm not here to please you. If you don't like my posts, just consider that they are not directed to you or for you and go about your life. I might not have this attitude if you ever did anything constructive, but all I see from you is gripping and complaining and criticizing what others do.

    This is the hat with the same colored liner logo as my Disney straw boater.

    The Disney Diner

    All of this Disney talk today made me start Jonesing for one, so I bought an old straw boater Disney a little while ago. I only see one other hat on this Disney thread with the exact same colors in the Disney liner logo. It's on page 6 of thread. Brad Bowers said that hat was from the Crofut &...
