    CHURCHILL HATS

    Churchill Pure Beaver with a ribbon taken from another hat. Saved me the trouble of sending it off for a ribbon. Plus I'm always nervous about sending rare hats away, that they'll get lost or stolen and I always worry until I get them back.

    STETSON 7x CLEAR BEAVER QUALITY

    Assuming that is a 1951 hat, I'm really a bit surprised to see that type of mfg tag appear that early.

    STETSON 7x CLEAR BEAVER QUALITY

    Does the sweatband logo have stars or a maple leaf?

    Pre 1940s (non-Stetson) Westerns

    This hat finally arrived. Has 4 inch bound brim and 6 1/2 inch open crown. There are no mfg tags and nothing written or stamped on the sweatband, which has the old VVVV type stitching. I'll be sending it off for cleaning and a new sweatband.

    Here's another oldie that's arriving tomorrow and needs serious help. Unknown maker, 4 inch brim, about 6 inch open crown. Looks to date to 1930's or earlier.

    Pre 1940s (non-Stetson) Westerns

    It's incredible that these hats were preserved from the steamboat Arabia.

    Pre 1940s (non-Stetson) Westerns

    1920's or earlier L K & Co. hat, "The Grizzly Hat". Has 3. 3/4 inch bound brim and 5 inch open crown. Brim has a strip of felt for a binding on the top side only. Has a 1 inch ribbon with the bow having the intentionally frayed back edge. This hat would loosely be called a Boss of the Plains or...

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    I'm guessing around late 40's or 50's on the Borsalino. I have a real similar one. Steur says about 1954 to 1960, and he knows way more than I do.

    Shudde Bros. Hatters in Houston

    There are mixed opinions about where Shudde Bros got their felt bodies. Some think from Stetson, some think from elsewhere. I don't know enough to have an opinion. Besides making their own hats, Shudde did sell Stetson hats, but those hats, as expected, had Stetson sweatbands and liners and...

    Shudde Bros. Hatters in Houston

    Shudde Bros hat, 2 1/4 inch bound brim, about 5 1/4 inch open crown. Probably dates to 1950's because the felt is somewhat soft. It's not given a model name so I'm guessing this is Shudde's lowest or standard quantity hat. While quite decent, it in no way compares with the Beaver Deluxe...

    Shudde Bros. Hatters in Houston

    Shudde Bros Beaver Deluxe. 2 3/4 inch raw edge. Probably dates 50's or 60's or so. Just bought this yesterday and haven't received it yet.

    Shudde Bros. Hatters in Houston

    Shudde Bros Beaver Deluxe. 2 7/8 inch brim with Cavanagh or Mode Edge, 5 3/4 inch open crown. It dates no later than early 50's. The liner has onionskin over it. The Cavanagh type edge may suggest this hat was made from a Stetson blank, or is that possible? The felt in this hat is much softer...

    Shudde Bros. Hatters in Houston

    1982 dated Shudde Bros Beaver Supreme, 3 1/2 inch brim, about 5 3/4 inch open crown. Had cattleman's crease when I got it. Had it reshaped and new ribbon added. Last pic is as I received it.

    Shudde Bros. Hatters in Houston

    Shudde Bros Beaver Deluxe, 2 3/4 inch bound brim, probably 5 1/2 inch open crown. Had cattleman's crease when I got it. Dates mid 50's to early 60's, I'd say. This is my everyday Shudde
