What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
An early spring day always make me reach for an early Stratoliner. This one, without an imprint or embroidered patch inside the crown, might be a first edition. Store likely related to the much loved Seattle store Bernie Utz, which closed its doors several years back. But I'm not sure. -

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
I am not well versed in MacLachlan but I believe that they made hats under private label as well as under their own brand. Frank Stack was affiliated with Hat Corporation of America for many years before founding a (short lived) company under his own name. Your hat @drmaxtejeda looks to have the... -

Thank you Steve. This modest brim works well snapped down without getting swoopy but I always seem to keep the brim upwards at the end of the day. My signature look, I guess. ;^) -

Thanks back at you... I keep my best stuff in the box underneath the bowl. Not much room for more. I keep telling myself that. Thank goodness for the bowl.- alanfgag

1890's-1900's early hat manufacture HAWES (Hawes Von Gal) HAT CO
Just replied to your post in the Derby thread... congratulations on finding this. Very few hats from Hawes Von Gal appear on the vintage market, though their advertisements are plentiful. Some great new additions to this thread were posted recently by Daveproc. The company clearly went through... -
The Bowler or Derby Hat
Great find. There is good history in the Hawes Von Gal thread (much of which I've forgotten)... little if anything of the company was seen after WWI. c.1910 as a date for your derby should be a good guess, with a margin to either side of a few years. Definitely a century old. -
