Try it!

Gotta get some tees...but I will!

To hold extra tees perhaps?

That seems very likely. Utilitarian ribbon!

Very nice. It’s a women’s hat. The cloth sweatband, sized in inches as women’s hats were, the milliner’s code (as opposed to hatter’s code) tag, and the elastic chin string, are the dead-giveaways. But no one else besides you will ever know!

May 12, 1935. And yes, those are for tees!

I wonder if the chin string is the original. It's amazingly stretcy for being that old.

The Dunlap "American Golfer" now posted in the Classifieds for any who might be interested.

An early Dunlap hatbox with 2 hats from Young Bros that might be Dunlap hats. These are listed on eBay for $80 for all and free shipping.

Since I just snagged my 2nd Dunlap (a Superior), I remembered I never shared my Dunlap Triumph in this thread.
