    It totally makes sense that Cavanagh also had a 100. Have we seen one here? Thanks for the great info, Brad.

    I wonder how many companies made a "100" full beaver hat. On these pages I've seen a Churchill 100, a Stetson 100, a Resistol 100, and a Knox 100. Do we know any other companies that made a 100? Did Lee? Or Champ?

    Help needed to identify my newly acquired Stetson Fedora!

    Stetson Europe...

    It would seem to me that there hasn't been any real Stetson overseas since the original company closed down at the end of the 1960s. I'd bet everything with Stetson on it in Europe is either a contractor or shipped there from the US. I hope someone can verify my feelings on this.

    Indiana Jones Raiders Hat Brim Shape

    I once had a Fed IV and I can attest that the felt gets very soft and floppy over time. I have since sold it, though.

    This is an interesting color combo. But can anyone tell if maybe this ribbon is a replacement? From this auction... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mens-Vintage-Stetson-Brown-7-1-4-Fedora-The-Sovereign-/262369614651?hash=item3d16729b3b:g:hSAAAOSwEK9XAr5m
