Look at the color saturation on that hat! It looks like vintage felt and the fact that its not loaded with shellac is a major plus. There is NO ONE and I do mean NO ONE that is going to tell me that Winchester makes a product as good as Fepsa....because they don't. The proof is in the pudding...

I believe that one might actually be a real beaver topper and not silk. The wide flat brim, tall straight crown and beaver felt make me think its pre 1840's
Just an update on the felt doing an amazing job weathering another harsh Chicago snow storm. I have been putting this hat through the paces and I wore it during a snow storm the other day. I wore it while walking downtown during the snow storm (walking to the train and bus) and while shoveling...
