    I had to go check both my Disneys. The "Alpenhute" velour made by Anton Peschel of Dinkelsbühl Germany says Imported for Disney Hats with the fancy D liner, no Mr. on sweat or liner. If memory serves, Steve said it was mid 50's The "Handover" is a back-bow underwelt, so I'm guessing late 50's...

    OTHER THAN eBAY Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    I was under the impression that Disney Hats had to add the Mr. as the result of having been sued by Disney Studios over use of the name. It probably irked the Disney of hats because the Mr. (in my experience from scouring the internet for old buntal straws to convert) usually meant a male...

    Help rescuing dirty hat!

    I have used Dollar Tree wool detergent with good results. I think it has just enough stuff in it to clean out the gunk naptha doesn't but not enough actual soap to leave much residue. But if I run across the Orvis I'll grab some for the future.

    Help rescuing dirty hat!

    A warm water and detergent bath can often get out dirt, grime and salt that naptha won't. Here's a few warnings (from experience) about using water and detergent, however. Always dissolve the soap into the water to lessen the suds. Never put soap directly on the felt and scrub, or you will be...

    Thanks! I'll keep that in mind in case the cracks worsen. There isn't a crease with a heavier felt. I'm hoping there won't be any more widening of the cracks, as the seller said she used it in her millenery business for 20 years with no issues.

    Thanks Brent! The only other I had seen before I spotted this one on the Goodwill site was one Alan had posted. His, of course, in far better condition but I'm still stoked just to have one at all!

    Hey all! The Keith Brothers "The Tiger Special" line of hats was, according to the Professor, produced between 1905ish till 1921. That means that mine is now at least one hundred years old. If I recall correctly a Lounger whose name I forget (but whose knowledge I respect) mentioned that...

    Hey everyone! I've been hoping to find one of these in decent shape and at a reasonable price for some time. I was thrilled to see this one on Etsy. For 32 bucks shipped I can deal with a few cracks and dings. :) Looks good with my 7 3/8 flange I dug out an old funky rabbit felt...

    Thanks Jim! I may finish one of them myself. Haven't decided yet. I would like to get at least one done professionally.

    A late night/early morning Etsy victory from a couple weeks ago. It arrived today, finally! Supposed to be priority mail, but I think it was sent instead on the back of a three-legged turtle. Oh well, just built up the anticipation. Out of the box Normally I'd be mad if I got a hat packed...
