Mac Lachlan Air-Vac Fedora Hat Beaver FIFTEEN Sz 7 White

[Pat Kindermann]

Hello,
New to the thread and hope I am doing this correctly. I was lucky to win an estate auction of 13 hats from Mac Lachlan Air-Vac, Stetson, Resistol, Knox, Dobbs, Glen Royal, etc. to some rather neat hats that might not make the cut (on of them didn't listen to Mom and Dad and had a party of moths. A couple of what I call Sam Snead. Of course, I am beginning with the Mac and thrilled. Wish it was larger. It is a Size 7 in White. It is not perfection, but pretty close to it. No moth holes, but a tiny flea dent. Perfect lining. I'll bet it wasn't worn more than once.
So, after reading and re-reading your pages (perhaps the single most bit of information on the Net, I have questions:
Year of Manufacture
Any historical information about the company. I read they closed abruptly. Years in operation?
Information about previous purchases that I can use to figure out pricing. I really do not want to use Ebay and/or an auction. Probably Etsy.
So, whatever you can share, please do. Btw, I noticed that there was a question on the threads about the lining. I believe it is some type of silk, but just like that I forgot the name. Hopefully it will come to me.
Many thanks,
Pat

Spectacular, but it does belong in the MacLachlan thread. Maybe the bartenders can merge this one with the right thread?

Wow. How nice, and great welcome.... and a trophy. My first trophy ever lol
Many thanks to you all.
Shall I still move this to the other thread? I'd be happy to do so.

Oh, and I think the silk is taffeta silk.

^^^^just go to the Mac thread referenced above and post whatever you want. Lots of pics, closeups of the felt, different creases and angles. Macs aren’t all that common so you will be scratching our itch.
Don’t worry about what to do with this one.

Garrett,
Sorry for sounding like a newbie, which I am, but I went to that link above and when I hit NEW POSTS I was lost. I was reading the Mac thread, but can't figure out how to get it directly in there. Can you help? Thanks.

To answer your Q.
Just go to whatever thread, scroll down to the bottom of the last post and in the blank field that says “Write your reply”, type, upload, whatever, then hit post reply. I think you already figured out how to reply to someone’s post.
After a post, in the left lower corner of the field, the 3 horizontal line icon is for functions to edit, delete, etc.

Pat, Bowen is absolutely correct. I'm sure the bartenders will merge the content if your post doesn't work on the Mac thread.

Thank you. Worked like a charm. Good instruction.

I like that you call Admin bartenders. The deed is done as per instructions.
The "bartenders" can delete this post if they wish.
Thanks again for your help.
