Brent vs Warwick - connection?

[Rabbit]

I got this awesome Brent from our fellow lounger joshbru.
Today I came across a Warwick on the 'bay.
I wonder what the connection is between those two makers; the liner logos are identical.
I couldn't find any relevant info in the search results (both internal and external search functions).

Does anyone have any information on this topic?

For reference, here's the Brent (apparently 1950s) and below the Warwick (unknown date, listed as 1940s on ebay):

Brent was the house brand of Montgomery Ward. Warwick might have been a house brand of theirs, too, though I couldn't find anything on it. In any case, they were both probably made by the same factory. I can't remember if it was Lee or one of the other large Danbury makers.

Thanks Brad!

I have a Brent hat. I read somewhere here on the lounge that it was from Montgomery Ward and that it was made by Lee. I don't know anything about Warwick.

Could it be both hats are made by the same maker, and the names a different model?

Not identical, but similar Barrister crown imprint.

That Warwick has plastic liner - can it be from 40's as listed?
