Pre- 1940s Stetson dress hats.
Thanks Steve. The colors in the imprint are very hard to photograph. It is a very rich gold foil but usually photographs as silver. It is a lovely interior. -

Sorry for the delayed reply on this. I spent a little time with Barton Wright's Hallmarks of the Southwest, a useful reference first published in 1989. My copy is a second edition updated in 2000. It shows about 80 silversmiths working under the last name Begay. Many of them used 1/16" gothic...- alanfgag

Great to read... thanks for sharing. Would love to hear more about the history of his last name and the silversmiths that shared it.- alanfgag

Perry, this must be the most time honored wood wall in the history of the Lounge. And you've barely aged. Remarkable consistency to go with your remarkable hats. -

I really like these heavyweight boiled wool vests made by Ibex before they went out of business some years back. (They were restarted by new owners and make a similar style lighter weight merino wool vest but the old ones are much better IMO). I've bought a number of them on eBay in different...- alanfgag

What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
An old Stetson Clear Nutria today that came to me from our friend Garrett. I find little information about the store where it was sold, other than many conspicuous advertisements for a "bankrupt sale" in 1921. The time would be appropriate for this hat, though perhaps it was a continuing sale... -

There are so many silversmiths working with that name... I have only followed the work of Kenneth Begay (1913-1977) and his long history with the White Hogan in Scottsdale. His hallmark is a distinctive KB set into an incised square. His son, Harvey Begay (1939-2009) used a similar design with...- alanfgag

Fine and light... this Knox Premier Quality Baku straw weighs 1.9 ounces. September <sigh>. -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
Today an interesting example that was sold in pre-revolutionary Havana, 1940s would be my guess. The straw is flecked with color here and there and the palm strips seem flatter than in the Cavanagh I posted yesterday though the weave fineness is similar. I'm very fond of the blocking and... -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
I've never developed a love affair with Cavanagh hats. Each one I came across was just a little too heavy and conservatively styled for my taste. But one could always depend on them for quality and this Montecristi straw is no exception. -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
September is nigh... time to get my collection of montecristis out into the daylight. This Stetson branded hat is remarkable for its condition. All parts are supple and clean, a window to how it presented when first sold more than 80 years ago. -
Berets, Anyone?
Thanks for the heads up Daan. Somehow I don't have a khaki beret. Just fixed that.
