Old Stetson
It looks so much like a civil war slouch hat but the hat band is much wider. There is no leather sweat band that I can see and it appears to be a cloth sweatband. I have seen lots of hats in my life but this is by far appears to be the oldest Stetson. It appears to be stiff and...

Vintage Hat prices
I have to go with size having some impact on hat prices. Everyone, including me, has gotten bigger and 50 years ago people were thinner and smaller. There are not a lot of vintage hats in sizes larger than 7 3/8 out there. I talked with a woman at an antique store and asked...
Rehab a Vintage Panama?
Ok, here goes! I have a panama, early 50's, that is very stiff. The weaving is perfect and appears tight and there are no holes or breaks in the staw. The sweatband is toast...very brittle. I want to wash out the stiffener. What's the best way to do this? It will need...
