Biiig crown. Dare I say...cavernous?
Having owned this hat for two to three weeks before moving it on, I can attest to what a bad a$$ hat it is. Before the X’s and varying qualities, this is what you got. The Boss. Maybe the finest felt I’ve laid a hand to and with the wide ribbon, just a stand alone hat. Pretty much pristine too. The only hat I’ve started to hang onto that didn’t come anywhere close to fitting me. Thanks for posting it.

This hat belonged to an employee of a family owned cattle sale barn. It remained there for ~30 yrs after the employee failed to take it with him when he resigned.
I've posted before about the Palace Clothing Co in the Vintage Hat Stores thread. The Auerbach family were early Kansas settlers involved in statehood & early Kansas politics.

Another beaut! What the LOT on this one Jack? Would have assumed it’s 20s based on the VVV sweat stitching.

You may be correct Ross. I edited my OP. I don't have the Lot # as I have never rolled out the sweat. I do have a pic of the red tag taken with a mirror.

I suppose this 20's-30's Jack Especial from Sombreria y Camiseria Newstyle in Santa Fe, Argentina could go here. I've not seen another one...
I like the texturing on the sweatband.

An Ecuadorian toquilla straw Panama by Pedigree Hats. Shark’s Men’s Store opened in Bismarck, ND in 1937 & closed in 1973 so it is at least 50 yrs old. It has taken on a beautiful color.
Has a nice wide perforated sweat.
Acquired in 2024.

Thanks John. I like the size tag too & knew from it this wasn’t just another Langenberg jobber hat we see all the time.
