Fred J. Chantiles Co

Do any of the Fedora guru's know anything about this company? I recently won a fedora made by this company and am expecting it to arrive next week sometime. I'm just interested to know the history of this company and someone else's opinion of them, for the price I'm not too worried about the value factor just an interest in my new hat's history.

Nobody has answered. I did a web search and found nothing. My guess is that this is not the manufacturer but rather the name of the retailer. It might have been a hat that was repaired by the retailer with a new sweat band. Just a guess.

Thats about what I came to as well before I posted this, I was just hoping for some colorful history. If I can figure it out I'll post pics when it gets here and see what yall think.
