Thank you, sir. It's definitely a challenge for me as well.Looking good Wesslyn. Nice hat and suit. You seem to have more luck finding 3 piece suits than I do.

Well, there was a tragic occurrence that led to the demise of the goat. It was being trimmed about ten days ago when something caused the trimmer (me) to be suddenly distracted and take about an inch off between upper lip and chin. Not much left to do but cut my losses and wait for new growth.

OH THE HUMANITY!Well, there was a tragic occurrence that led to the demise of the goat.

Here is what I have read about the Cohn-Asher Hat Company of Los Angeles.
The principals were Arthur Asher and Isidor Cohn.
Isidor was born in Germany in 1869. He emigrated to the US and ended up in California, where he was one of the early LA area Jewish community.
On January 4, 1904, he married Mina Norton, one of the earliest professional teachers in the area. http://www.jmaw.org/mina-norton-early-professional-teacher-of-los-angeles/ At the time of the marriage, Isidor was a traveling clothing salesman.
I am not certain about when Cohn-Asher formed, but it appears to have dissolved no later than 1923. It is mentioned in a publication from that year that it was succeeded by Cohn-Lazerus Hat Company.

The special brands list is from the American Hatter, Vol. 46, February 1917.
The article about cowboy hats and trade show write up appeared in the American Hatter, Vol. 51, August 1921.
The help wanted ad is from the LA Herald, October 26, 1916.
Is that a nutria?
They call it cuy (pronounced 'coo-ee) in Spanish. It's a sort of guinea pig some people eat
I thought beaver was tolerable with enough hot barbecue sauce,
A Nutria (Coypu) wouldn't fit on the plate

We have them all over the place here in Oregon. They look like a giant rat! Nice hats come from them though...A Nutria (Coypu) wouldn't fit on the plate.
Super Knox! Great snap also!Knox Fifteen for wide ribbon Wednesday.
They both look great Serge!Rebashed my navy D'Aquino. I like it better this way. I always felt the brim was to wide for a pork pie
On the other hand, my beige D'Aquino always felt a bit small brimmed for a fedora, so.. ..
I wish the brim wasn't so wavy.

It is understandable that the venting features would be available in the California climate. Really a cool derby Matt!Happy Wednesday.

Here is stuff I discovered about Cohn-Asher in my research from last year:
I don't see to many examples of California made hats from back then. Neat!
