Hello everyone,
Ive done searches to try and find any information on Vintage sweatband manufactures. I am unable to find any. I often ask, "What makes vintage sweatbands so wonderful, and better than modern day sweatbands?" Obviously many things, but I think It would be nice to have a place to post pictures of sweatband manufacture stampings to not only give our members another way to date a hat, but possibly see where the sweatband was produced and what hat manufactures used them. Here's a couple stampings from different hats that I have had in the past and currently.
Late 1940's-Early 1950's Portis Open Road
Sweatband Manufacture: DRUCO
Late 1940s Champ Custom Quality
Sweatband Manufacture: DRUCO
Late 1950s Dobbs 30
Sweatband Manufacture: L.C.B.
Early 1950s Adam Executive Strand
Sweatband Manufacture: L.C.B.
