I raided a costume rental owned by a friend. I've gotten some sweet hats from costume shops before, but come home with these 4 guys today.
View attachment 52237
From left to right, a 70s? Biltmore Golden Pheasant velour, an 80s? Dobbs 707, an early 60s Alexander, and a 40s Knox Twenty.
All could use some TLC, and the Biltmore is the only one with its liner still. The Knox, being by far the oldest is in the worst condition unfortunately. Sweatband is coming out, and there's a tiny hole I'm the back where the pinch was. Apparently people have been wearing this hat backwards for a very very long time.

"Raiders of the Lost Arc! Haha! Nice lil group of treasures.....!

In house brand from the apparently now defunct Parks-Chambers department store in Atlanta, Georgia. A very soft hand, a felted edge (Cavanagh, Guild, whatever you'd care to call it) no plastic in the liner, and carries an original price of $27.50. It's definately a top of the line product. I'd guess this to be late 60s or early 70s. Curious as to who might have produced it for them, but I guess it will remain a mystery.

All of the details indicate it's made by Hat Corporation of America.

Since I was out almost one month I have some more hats to show,

Now my new Banjo Paterson in Fawn, great hat, cant believe I gave mine to. The father of one of my best friends and it took me 18 months to replace it, love the hat.
