Looks 1950's to me

 

[moontheloon]

I have a couple of back bows, both 50s lids. Though I think I've read here in a couple of places the style came and went a couple of times before that, as well.

Visit the Hatted Professor's site for info on dating Dobbs by liner. Or I think we have a dating Dobbs thread as well. On phone so no linky, sorry.

Quite popular on women's hats over the years, and even today.
Unusual on men's hats, but is seen occasionally on "vintage" hats.

1950's. If you scroll down on this page from the Professor you will see your exact liner logo.

Nah, that's a man's hat, tuco.

From the style, I would say that it's overwhelmingly likely that it's not.
If it's a larger size, then it's almost positively not a "woman's" hat.
Furthermore, it was made for Jack Henry Clothiers of Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, which was a store that exclusively specialized in selling only men's hats and accessories, which should pretty much absolutely make it a men's hat.

lol thanks for the reassurance and the link 40cal it seems it is from the 50s and was a lower end hat but never the less im going to enjoy wearing it as i do all my hats

Of course, anyone can wear anything, and anyone can sell anything as anything, but it's really unlikely that a hat such as that would have been sold as a "women's" hat until much more recent years.

And we'll enjoy seeing you wear it.

Agree,Henry's was pretty specialized.

I have converted a back bow to a more usual side bow. Didn't dig the back bow.

They are definitely a matter of taste. I've kept mine if for no other reason than that's the way they came. [emoji4]
