Everyone needs at least one little black dress hat. Simple, but with something special, like a bow that is frayed coming and going. This one celebrated its centennial some years back. advertisement from 1903 -

What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
A bespoke project with my friend Keith from down under... he took a piece of antique French linen that I found at a flea market and a worn out old paisley Guess shirt that I loved to death in the 1980s and never had the heart to get rid of and combined them into a lovely cap, breathing new life... -

Dating Your Hat (A Place to Discuss the Age of Your Vintage Hat)
No trouble at all. I looked this morning and was surprised not to find a LOTXXXX stamp in this hat. I owned a twin in a smaller size with a 75XX number and a couple of others are posted to that thread with a 76XX number.

That label was used until the later 1930s, then no more. -

Stetson Sweat Stamps/ LOT XXXX
A great find and looks to be in great shape. The silver foil stamp seems to appear in early 20th century hats, often with poor adhesion which might have led to its demise as a material for foil stamping. It's a lovely thing to find one with the foil still intact. Congratulations! -

The quality designation of the felt on this Stetson is not real clear. But I love it anyway. Mouse kick crease added to the front... just for kicks. -

What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
Wartime era Bulgarian Borsalino from a stash that once was in good supply on eBay. It could use a new ribbon but is otherwise in very good shape despite its years of hiding in plain sight. I think of the young couple trying to escape Casablanca when I wear it. I only recently learned that the... -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
The hat is described accurately - first decade or second decade of the 20th century. Two bidders were willing to go higher than $700 which is not outrageous in my opinion if you are interested in early Stetson hats. They do not come around every day.
