    Anyone ever hear of 'Stetson Ermine Series B'?

    Looking forward to seeing more details when you receive it. Hope Graham can breathe some new life into the felt. From the photos you can see it has great "crush."

    Borsalino/Barbisio

    Most hats from these makers were sold with lining... even the lightest in weight. If sold unlined they would have an imprint on the felt at the top of the inside of the crown. Some owners removed liners after purchase. There are very good dedicated threads on both Barbisio and Borsalino. You...

    Western, anyone?

    Thanks... it's one of my go to favorites. I have other Fray stamped sweatbands that are not embossed and have a softer hand. This style is remarkable for its ability to wear like iron. The ones I have owned are more than 100 years old and they appear to be ready for another 100 years without...

    Stetson 1X Nutria... the store in Walla Walla took was sold and took on the Gardiner's name in 1910 (store photo below is 1926). I would estimate this hat somewhere between 1910 and 1920. Vintage horsehair band is my addition.

    Western, anyone?

    Stetson 1X Nutria c.1910-1920. 1X provided a lot of hat back in the day.

    Stetson No. 1 Quality

    Thanks... some day I should sit down and read that book. Wonder why they declined to credit the union work with a label?

    Stetson No. 1 Quality

    Confused... was there not a photo showing Wolf Bros. Omaha, Nebr on the sweatband?

    Stetson No. 1 Quality

    From the photo, the sweatband imprint and construction look to me like a contemporary hat. I’m guessing the union imprint is after the Philadelphia factory closed though I don’t know the details of this timeline.

    Stetson No. 1 Quality

    This hat looks more modern to me. When did the Stetson brand start being produced in a union shop? Wolf Bros. is in business today and might be able to help you with dating.

    It's a puzzling wrinkle. When I view my post in Google Chrome I see the same reference for the URL - the image does not display in the post. If I click on the icon and select open in a new tab or in a new window, the image displays fine. And it all works as normal in Safari. I'm guessing it's an...
