    What hat are you waiting for today?

    1989 Rand's 8X Beaver. Brim looks just shy of 5 inches and open crown looks about 6 1/2 inches.

    Stetson Sweat Stamps/ LOT XXXX

    After going back through this entire thread again to refresh my memory, I see a hat on pg 14 of the thread with Lot Number 7710 that's dated Nov 1941. So hats with high 7000s Lot Numbers that I've tried to cram into being made in or before 1940 may actually have been made in 1941 or 1942, it...

    Stetson Sweat Stamps/ LOT XXXX

    Yes, the vertical logo and that texture or design that's stamped into the sweatband leather itself are what hinted to me that it was early and might actually be a WW1 hat.

    Stetson No. 1 Quality

    Stetson Number 1 Quality Campaign hat, Lot Number 4780. I estimate the hat dates about 1921 based on a hat with Lot Number 5066 that has a 1922 date on it's hatband, on pg 15 of the Stetson Lot Number thread.

    Stetson Sweat Stamps/ LOT XXXX

    Stetson Number 1 Quality Campaign hat. Lot Number 4780. I haven't estimated a date for it yet, but it might be a little later than I was hoping for. I was hoping it was a WW1 hat. The smaller mfg tag is one of those brown tags or some obviously lighter colored tag than the other. After going...

    Stetson Sweat Stamps/ LOT XXXX

    Please ignore what I said here about the sweatband being fed into a machine. I just theorized that nonsense.

    I haven't heard back from the seller, increasing my suspicion that he may be trying to pass a later hat off as an 1880's hat.

    Shudde Bros. Hatters in Houston

    Shudde Bros hat, about early 1950's. Has 2 7/8 inch brim and 5 1/2 inch open crown. Very soft felt. Photos are as hat just received. Needs a good cleaning. Has no mfg tags, which is normal with these hats

    The Resistol Roundup

    Resistol needing some love. Has 3 3/4 inch brim and 5 inch open crown. The mfg tag is so faint or washed-out that the last pic shows a tag of the same type that's legible and is from my Resistol Ten, which is a hat from the era of the weird shaped "O". The felt on this hat is extremely soft, the...

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Marathon Supreme Quality 2X. It's small so I may have to give it to my brother in law.

    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.

    Stetson Number 1 Quality Campaign hat, WW1 era.

    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!
