    Our younger daughter came home for a bit to shelter in place with her parents. She found this photo from 2018 on her phone which had us both rolling on the floor laughing. I thought I’d share it in a new thread reserved for those FL photos that might otherwise have remained on the cutting room...

    Supernatural Montecristi size 7 1/2

    Elias Israel was selling straw hats in NYC in 1902, perhaps earlier. He registered the trademark "Supernatural" in 1921. They were a steady source for some of the nicest Montecristi, milan and leghorn woven hats during the first half of the 20th century. This example is no exception - a quality...

    Stetson 7X Clear Beaver western

    Hi all, I've owned this hat for many years but rarely wear it. It is a generous 7 1/8 (6 3/8 x 7 7/8") and a little large for my head. The photos show the hat well. It was a fifty dollar hat that reflects Stetson's highest quality of manufacture in the post war era. The crown as creased is 5"...

    A suggestion that comes up frequently but worth repeating... When replying with quote to a recent post with many photos, please do not repeat post all the photos. It takes up much space and causes threads to load more slowly. Best way to avoid this is to edit the quoted post to remove the...

    Stories That Hats Tell

    Some hats can speak... what stories have you heard? This old top hat had a story stored inside. The oilcloth sweatband was separated from the reed in a small area. Behind the sweat was a pad made from newspaper. As with felt, a small amount of steam brought the paper...
