Christy's of London
I have three of their hats including an all beaver (their version of the "Poet"). They are OK hats but certainly for the price you can get a MUCH better hat elsewhere.......... -

German & Austrian Hutmachers
The reference to sewing your crease in place (no sewing) on the box, is interesting.......AND I remember you and that great find every time I use one of these to these purpose.......what can I say....it works. And yes, I "soften" it up some, and remove the hing bars after I set it. -

Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

Stetson No. 1 Quality
The 1684 tag is most certainly a dry cleaners or hatters tag. When customers peice are brought in they are all individually tagged and recorded to invoice for each customer. If the sweat was separated from the hat the hat would have the same number marked inside it to keep track (probebly on... -
