An early soft hat. Sweatband and liner are long gone. I'm thinking of sending it off to Optimo for a new sweat.

Gordon Hats. Lots of ads for them in the early part of the 20th century.

I don't want to be one of those guys that just says, "nice hat, man" but dude, those hats are freaking amazing!! You just moved up to the most enviable collection on the lounge for me.
I am going to be spending hours on this thread...

Almost identical but "better loved"
Much like yours. Except all the gold gilding has been worn from the various embossments. And when I went to look at it just now, it's clear that the sweat (thinnest kid leather I've seen) is popping stitches left & right! My impulse, being as how the sweat tells half the story, is to use Elmer’s (H2o soluble) and keep the sweat in place as long as is possible. eh? The felt itself is almost like new & a kick arse dove gray....Any ideas??? [huh]
