What hat are you waiting for today?

[Yahoody]

Just an FWI if anyone is ever looking for a BIG Western hat maker, Lisa from Top Knot hats in SILVER LAKE, OR built me a solid 5.5" brim with a 6" crown on a Winchester 100% beaver blank. Most hat makers will tell you it aint possible. $500 and shipping.

I don’t normally spend this much on hats not my size but it had to be saved from Dad’s collection.

Beautiful and I'm very impressed with the way the brim curve is done.

That's the reason I keep going back for more. Mike gets about as close to the old D'Orsay curl as I've seen.

Very cool! I'm going to have to find one to try on someday. Not sure how I'd look in one but I gotta find out.

Listed (somewhat) locally as an "Amish Hat".

Bon-Ton Ivy sweat band? First patented in 1904, then renewed in 1921.

Steve (@Steve1857) has identified it as possibly pre-WWI.

Gotta love the Ozarks ...

Glad you bought it, Bob. Well worth $10 plus gas money.

Love the weave.

So…is “hat” a euphemism for something else. Dead drop for a “hat?” Sure.

Oooh, that looks promising!

Oooh, that looks promising!

Well sort of......they are late 30's or 40's (most likely 40's) , so great felt.....but are plug hats for women or children......I just found them really interesting......and "of a time".

Heh, heh ... thanks Steve. Here is a bit more.

I think the DuPont "Aridex" shout-out might put it in the 1940s.
