Pulled this stately gorasgu from the shelves this morning expecting it to be a different hat. I honestly don't remember acquiring this one... maybe I bought it for the yellow tag? -

Wonderful duo. The felt ribbon with cord embellishment is stunning... I've never seen anything like it. I've had good success removing damaged paper liner protectors from Borsalino hats (a tweezer helps for the last bits, though in this hat the broken paper is not disturbing at all. Great finds. -

Sorry Max, I don’t know anything about these hats beyond what has been posted on the Fedora Lounge. -

<smile>Thanks. It was a negotiation of little substance but since the shipping cost was a little high I felt compelled. I watched it for a long time as something I don't need but was intrigued by - and so it goes. Or comes, as the case may be. -

Great that you found these souvenirs with the hat and case. Seems the market for this high end hat continued for decades after the 1941 offering - likely becoming more "affordable" with the release of the Stetson 100 and the rise of prices over the years. Looks to be a hat made somewhere in the... -

My second hat purchase of 2020... acquisitions are at a slower pace than in other years. Oddly persistent negotiations were required for a hat that has been listed for a long time at 59 dollars. But it will not see wear until the warmer months of 2021. Portis "Bancoola" shares the same synthetic... -

Thank you Stefan and Daniele... this is, I think, the only beaver fur felt hat I have from the time when beavers had been hunted close to extinction. It is similar to the more common longhair nutria hats of this era, but much softer. Moths have nibbled it in a few places but the fibers are long... -

A longhair Bancroft beaver felt fedora, my guess is sold before stocks crashed in 1929. -

Thank you Joe. The Fifth Avenue flagship store of Saks and Company has always been my favorite. My wife found a simple magenta dress for our wedding day there. And it provided a nice escape from the American Girl retail store next door when my kids were little. I haven't been in the store for a... -

Saksy beast... more ruminations on this hat and the store from which it was sold here: https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/pre-1940s-stetson-dress-hats.42859/page-45#post-2747835 -
Pre- 1940s Stetson dress hats.
Ghosts. All the hats I own have imprints of the store in which they were sold and almost to a one, those stores exist today in memory only. Here is one that still lives on. I have fond memories of the stunning Christmas windows and the display of glittering branches that arched above the old... -
Let's see your mechanical watches
Happy to have this watch back from repair (pops a main spring every 5-10 years). It was a relatively inexpensive flea market purchase in the 1980s. I used to collect vintage watches prior to this one, which became my daily wearer ever since. Circa 1963-4.- alanfgag

Stetson No. 1 Quality
I might have been responsible for that theory in response to posts linking the white label with a 19th century manufacture date. I've had a few and they seem to appear in hats of different ages... sometimes in tandem with that small label with four digits imprinted - something that also looks...
