First thing that came to mind, was the Thomas Farthing too :) Though this one is probably two ribbons sewed together there're vintage examples of very wide ribbons. Most of which I can recall are finished with a backbow though.
It's been a while since I last showed up here. Been focusing exclusively on felts and my cap collection remained on beginer levels. Thought to stop by again, this time with some new gets in wider, vintage esque cuts. Still unsure if I qualify for your company just yet but bear with me, more to...
Thank you, gentlemen, much appreciated!
Seems to me that besides personal preferences, the materials used, head shape and how low or high caps vs felts sit on head might account too
Rick, thanks! It's a long overdue, but I am getting there ;) Ahh, TFL and enablers...as if hanging around these...
The high tapered crown was pretty common on the very early up/rolled-brimmed/transitional style soft felts
From American catalogs, late 1800s-very early 1900s
Judging by style itself doesn't always do it right and I don't know if the size label or any other particular detail narrows it down...
Thank you, Steve!
No JHS mention on the paper label too (just went really quick through your site). Btw, I never get tired of seeing these beauties! Those two Loden Mode huts are top of my list of favourite hats showed here

I must have been too late to the party again, I didn't see no fashionable/stylish people this time around
