Does anyone have any information on "Standard Brand"? Found a derby hat today.

Very nice @Bryce ! I find Seiter & Sheldon / Seiter & Seiter (the S & S in the logo) referenced in the 1898 - 1926 range.


Referencing the "Special" naming in 1898:

This ad is from 1905.

1926:

A great old derby Bryce. There are a lot of old manufacturers and store brands that have been lost to time, but they made and sold some great hats nonetheless. Here is an old Kaufman/Crosby of mine, about the same vintage as yours.

FYI, If you wear a 6 7/8, there are a lot of great old bowlers to be had at bargain prices.

That's a great looking hat. Unfortunately I wear a 7, and I wouldn't dare try stretching it.

There are a lot of good 7s on the market too.
