    Post New Hats Here!

    About mid 1950's Stetson 4X Beaver Quality with embroidered Last Drop liner. Has 3 inch brim and 5 1/2 inch open crown. For whatever reason, these hats are very scarcely seen. I've found 3 others on the Lounge, the most recent of this style dating to 1962 having the black rectangular size tag...

    1960's, maybe early 70's, before they added the metric size to it.

    From the Hatted Professor article on dating Dobbs hats.

    The Dobbs Diner...

    Well, I said this liner was for hats of $20 and up. Maybe I should have said it was for higher priced hats. I can't swear it wasn't ever used early on for $15 hats. But in my mind I always associate it with $20 and higher, since that's what you usually see.

    The Dobbs Diner...

    I'm not absolutely sure, but I seem to think that some a bit earlier were $15 hats. I can't swear to it.

    The Dobbs Diner...

    1950's Dobbs Gay Prince, dark blue. Has 2 3/4 inch brim and 5 3/4 inch open crown. This was a $20 hat when new. The sweatband doesn't say "Dobbs Twenty", but the type of liner in this hat was only put in hats costing $20 or more.

    Alexander Hats

    G W Alexander hat. 4 inch brim and 5 1/2 inch open crown. Has no mfg tag, so difficult to date. Maybe 1950's? It is stamped "Hub Hubbell Rodeo Hats". He toured around the Country performing and maybe sold these hats on the side? This might be one of those Alexander Circle A hats.

    Dating a Borsalino

    1960's was my guess, but I was waiting for someone smarter than me to weigh in on it.

    The Resistol Roundup

    When I started collecting hats 2 years ago, I had absolutely zero interest in Western or cowboy hats, just was interested in city hats and thought a brim more than 3 inches was pointless. Now I can't get enough of the big hats. Still love the city hats, though.

    The Cavanagh Club

    Cavanagh with 2 1/2 inch brim and 5 inch open crown. Made sometime after the 60's is all I know. Will gift it to brother-in-law. Has nice felt for a more recent hat.

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Another Geo. W Alexander hat that's about to ship to me. Both of these 2 hats look about the same age, offhand, but I can't guess a date til I have them in hand. This hat is associated with the famous rodeo star Hub Hubbell.

    A Geo. W Alexander hat I bought today, which is up in Canada right now.

    Post New Hats Here!

    PS- I thought that since this was a Presentation hat and from the high-end store Neiman Marcus, that there might be a chance this was a high-end hat, maybe a Forty quality or better. But I have a 50's Western Dobbs Forty and the Presentation hat doesn't approach the quality of my Dobbs Forty.

    Post New Hats Here!

    A 1953 Presentation hat, made either by Dobbs or Knox. I can about make a case for each. 2 3/4 inch bound brim and 5 1/2 inch open crown. The hat was sold by Neiman Marcus. The sweatband has no stamp or printing to identify the hat. The Presentation note is the only thing on the sweatband. The...

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Thanks a lot. I think he knew what he had because it wasn't inexpensive.

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Lee Adventure, bought last night for $8.77 seller's asking price because the hat needs cleaning and he didn't know how and didn't want to ruin it.

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Another hat bought today, a Cavanagh with a 2 1/2 inch brim. It's too small for me but I'll give it to my brother-in-law.

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Bought this hat today. Not sure of the maker but might be Resistol because the sweatband has the Self Conforming patent stamp. The liner says TAD and sweatband says Langrock. I googled that name and it's the store name. Looks like a 50's hat. Maybe TAD is the name of the hat's owner?
