" The Great British Hat Makers "
Thanks, Richard! Its a size 6 3/4 UK, so its a 6 7/8 USA....unfortunately still too small for my 7 LO head. I bought it from Ebay UK, so its most likely the first time the hat has been across the pond since the 20's/30's. -

Pre- 1940s Stetson dress hats.
Thanks Alan! Its my very first extra quality and I have to say, the finish of the felt is velvety smooth. I looked for the lot number, but its completely illegible. The only thing I can see clearly is the word "Stiff." The reorder tag really surprised me though.....its unlike any other tag I... -

Stetson Stuff

It lists the brim width at 2 5/8 and a block number of 729. According to my research, Block 729 was offered in crown heights of... -
parbuntal straw hats
BEAUTIFUL Baku/Buntal!! I love Balibuntals and unfortunately have not been able to snag one yet. I have said it before and I will say it again, I would honestly rather have a very fine buntal than a fine monticristi. These baku/buntals are super light and usually very finely woven, even the... -

Pre 1940s Stetson Westerns
I would say that 20's is a great estimate. It may even date to a little earlier, possibly the teens. The stitching on your sweatband is a vvvvvvvvvv pattern which was used pretty early. I am not sure when Stetson stopped using that type of two needle Singer sewing machine and switched to the... -
