Berg fedoras?

[Blackthorn]

I just bought a vintage Berg fedora from a Lounger. I did a search for Berg hats here, but no luck outside those who were selling them. Does anyone know anything about this brand? I've never heard of it before, but really like the looks of the one I have coming.

Berg Hats were one of the brands of Hat Corporation of America. Cavanagh, Dobbs, and Knox were their best-known brands, but they had lesser-known brands, like Crofut & Knapp, Byron, and Berg. Earlier, they had Chase and Disney, and later on, Champ.

I did a Google Image Search on Berg, and saw a few interesting vintage advertisments for the brand. That might give you some ideas as well.

Thats a great hat you purchased. Congrats, Darvis!

Best,
Tom
