The town has a Hat Making Museum. Around 1815, the village experienced a considerable economic growth...- PanosChris

Glad you got that one, Steve! It's in good hands to say the least ;) Old French hats are awesome. Just to put it in context, Espéraza in France was one of the three biggest wool producers in Europe back in the day.

Steve, thank you Steve, thank you for the info! I figured something was off but couldn't put my finger on. I noticed there was a cell less than the type 1a and 1b labels, but didn't really pay attention to the script and handwriting (lack of). It all makes sense- PanosChris

Time to say hi! Some great finds in these parts. JHS Jota Velour in Brown. Sold by a very famous store back in the day. Style says '30s but label might suggest earlier. Mint condition- PanosChris

That's a stellar hat! From the style of it, 20s-early 30s sounds correct to me. Strictly speaking, the teardrop crease though was not really favored by the time period and place, I think. Still love it!- PanosChris

The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
Brent informed me about that one quite some time ago and curiosity got the best of me Color of the lead (Pb). In person it has some dark steel-blue hints. I always thought the star system was meant for the US market only, probably not. Nice short velour and thick felt- PanosChris
