Recent find. Royal Stetson. Olive. Though it has a gray-ish tint, it is olive! The brim treatment reminds me of the trim on a Stetson Flagship I saw in the Lounge. Has some nibbles and bites. But that felt! It has the hand of a 3X Beaver to me.
Found another Disney (I own two) in my size! The seller quotes this piece as having a 2 1/4 inch brim, which looks much wider. But. Oh well. Here's that anticipation word...again! :D
With pleasure! Will post in 'New Hats' thread as it was a very recent purchase. Made by Beaverbrook Hats. Not much history. But there is a hint of history that the manufacturer was located in Connecticut.
Thanks so much for thinking of me! For some reason, Homburgs have been literally falling in my lap lately! I'd love to have another blue one. Looking for a brown or similar color.
I continue to be amazed at the amount of hat manufactures that existed between the 40s and 50s (and even earlier)! This piece fell into my lap and needless to say, I was pleased as punch! The felt is simply beautiful. It holds a shape quite well with minimal steam, and the brand name is unique...
