    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Back when one X was a lot of X... Both this hat and the one posted yesterday have the silver foil store imprint. Most of the marks I've seen imprinted with this foil have been in a similar flaky condition to this one. Apparently the silver material was problematic - it is rarely seen...

    Pre- 1940s Stetson dress hats.

    That's a great hat... sorry it's not in your size. The LOT 8027 is intriguing - not in sequence with other examples and doesn't appear to have the age that would suggest an earlier numbering sequence (as might have been the case for the hat posted by RLK in the early pages of the LOTXXXX...

    Thank you Brent. The proportions give it an interesting look - not quite dress or western - somewhere in between. The felt remains moldable to this day - I steamed it and removed the side pinches that I'd worn in the past. Some additional photos I posted when the hat arrived were shared here...

    I have a couple but have never tried adjusting the fit. It might make sense in one of them which has always been a little too loose.

    I'd be hesitant to alter the patina... only because almost every time I do it I wish I hadn't after the fact. Very interesting piece.

    There are a handful of days each year that call out for this between the seasons Dunlap duplex. Today was one. I suspect this to be a late 1930s offering with the Sizor adjustable sweatband mentioned in the 1938 advertisement below. Dunlap was a Hat Corporation of America brand at this time -...

    Thanks Steve... I think the early lightweight unlined thin ribbon that was the Stratoliner is one of the most wearable hats of all time. Just the right western attitude for a city slicker. The pin does make it fly. Many thanks!
