Pre 1940s dress hats
The liner imprint in this private label for Rogers Peet takes my breath away. I browsed the store with my Dad when I worked down the street at the NY Public Library… fifty years ago. -

The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
This is the first Borsalino I purchased on the vintage market. I've purchased others since. This shop must have been a destination for American tourists visiting Italy after the war... many featherweights with Balbi's store imprint have shown up for sale on U.S. eBay. -

Western, anyone?
High end clear beaver hats were expensive and apparently, from the limited number that have appeared on the vintage market, purchased few and far between. There are a couple of other oldies posted on the 5X thread I referenced in the original post but the number is still countable on one hand... -

Western, anyone?
Thanks Bowen! The combination of high grade clear beaver felt and a 6" open crown allows this telescope crease to sing. The hat came to me that way and I never tried to change it. -
Western, anyone?
Seldom seen (two posted here that I know of) high end clear beaver Stetson from before WWII (late 1930s-1940). I purchased this one from Lounge member Zetwal. There is a thread with catalog references from Porter here.
