    Hoping to get some expert help on dating this VS stratoliner. After scouring these excellent forums, I'm guessing early 50's. The felt is in wonderful condition with no obvious stains or signs of distress. The liner, however, was Brylcreem city, with heavy verdigris on the band reed. It is now...

    You wear it well! My hat 'looks' very similar in size and shape, same bash as well. What is it? You inspire me to give it a try when the weather is cooperative.

    Thanks, it was given to me by an antiques dealer about 40 years ago. Finally it has shrunk to my size. Perfect for a costume party... pimp, Etc., a bit hairy for a regular wear

    New 'royal quality' stratoliner. Despite what I heard, It's fine to me. One wonky stitch on ribbon and maybe a bit stiff, but not for long. I'll get my money's worth for sure.

    Here it is opened up. There are no stamps on or under the sweatband, which is very thin leather with a silk backing. It also has a very thick raw edge on a 2 1/2" brim. Thank you

    Royal quality may be the low end, but I'll get a lot of wear from this new caribou. Maybe one wonky stitch on the ribbon, but it feels fine.

    Looking for hat information?

    L Anyone out there heard of this Hatter? Philadelphia, turn of the 20th century. I tried to do a new bash from the center dent that it had, and this is what it wanted to be. Pristine long hair beaver I'm guessing.

    I'm looking for some information on this beaver long hair. Absolutely pristine! Must be 100 years old, last reference to the maker I saw was in 1915 American Hatter. It was a center dent its whole life, but I recently re shaped it.

    Much cooler and I'd wear this longhair. Anybody heard of this maker? Hat is pristine, must be a 100 years old. Last reference I could find was from 1915 American Hatter.
