    Any ideas on these hats

    Thanks M. the bowler was more of a "just gotta have one" but I will be cautious with it since it is wool, I did not realize how sought after furfelt vintage bowlers were, they can get very pricy. I will let you know if I fiqure out what the GVH intials are for on the Stetson.
