Post New Hats Here!
Yes, Cavanagh did not put their felted edge on all their hats. I have a couple with bound edge and even one with a over-welt. As for people cutting brims down (or having them cut down), happened a LOT in the late 50's and into the 60's (and even earlier, they were cutting down brims in the... -
