Has a unique "floating" sweatband

1930s
*NOT MINE
Taken from Spencer's (Dinerman) website:
vintagehaberdashers.com
"It is deadstock from George I. Eakle of 1628 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA. It has damage to the ribbon from being stored for the past eighty years with another hat stacked on top.
The hat was made by Bonar Phelps of New York. “Best under the sun”. The hat has an optimo ridge, with a fairly flat top."

From a lounge legend, Josh
"Throughout their history, different hat manufactures made hats and either Co-branded such as Stetson or Shoble, or just used George I. Eakle on the hat with no other branding. They didn't make hats, just had them made for their store."

1930s Stetson Standard Quality
Has a "Bon Ton Ivy" styled sweatband attachment mechanism, which results in a "floating" sweatband. Never seen this before, and believe it to have been a custom order for the Eakle store.
Color is a grey heather with a variety of different shaded grey felt fibers.
