Thanks, I've been poke'n around for a bit and finally felt like sayin hello Here are some interior pics. Condition is excellent but I have no idea of the exact age. Don't know much about Klee Bros besides what I could find out about the department store.

Welcome Gunner.

That is one heck of a way to make a splash. Just an extraordinarily beautiful hat...

Finally feeling better, (I was sick as a duck in fog!) here's my try on this freakin' frosty Friday... a Cavanagh private label.
Check that edge!!

Klee Bros. was a department store in Chicago (but you knew that). Quite clearly, whomever made their store branded hats did a beautiful job!

Here's a pic of their building.

And a little info about the company for anyone else who might be interested:

"Built in 1931, the five-story art deco Klee building takes its name from Klee Brothers, a men's clothier that trumpeted its retail amenities almost as much as the garments it had for sale. "The equipment of our stores, their lighting, their ventilation, their generously apportioned salesrooms, their homelike atmosphere--all these we consider second only to the high class of merchandise we handle," read an early Klee advertising pamphlet. The flatiron-style building boasted elevators with wrought-iron dials, wide stairwells, terrazzo floors, and marble wainscoting--luxurious for the working-class neighborhood.

With office suites above the store attracting dentists and other professionals, the building prospered into the 1960s, when Klee Brothers sold out to the Rothschild's clothing chain."

Sorry that it's been a tough day so far, Bob. Hope things get on the upswing immediately.

Camp Draft looks great.

And here I though she meant brim width!

That is devil's work. Stop thinking on that.

Groovy Greg.
And that Whippet + leather jacket yesterday... Beyond man... Just beyond...

Thank you, sir.

 

[Lean'n'mean]

Plus... the psycho colors this style appears in... Well... It's just odd.

THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE! (Or... maybe it isn't.)

Contacted Mulder & he suggested 'deadman' hat or possibly an equestrian top hat....

 

[Bamaboots]

Wow.

Thanks, Perry. Super Stetson today.

That hat is where it's at, Greg! I like the black, and it all comes together around the newly installed soul patch.

Thank you much, Charlie. Love today's Cavanagh. Hope you're feeling better.

I'm a big fan of matching, and you do a great job!
I like the purple with the gray hat

Hey folks!
More rough weather but nothing that this 50's Pimbell and my Navy issue all-weather coat can't handle.

Have a great day!

Impressive debut, Gunner. I love those independent and store brands. Going from memory here (what's left of it), but from the union tag and re-order tag, I say 1940s.

Nice pick up!
