Biltmore 4 X Quality "Wilderness" in "Fawn" with 2 3/4 bound brim, 5 5/8 open crown. VERY soft fine felt.
I love the contrast colored trim and the "Swallow Tail" cut to the ribbon ends.
I put in a Truman pinch.
Circa 1900. These attached (glued) to the lining tips of stiff hats as a rule (Soft hats required letters clipped to the sweat so they would not fall off). These letters and eagles are the of the glue on variety. Plain black stiff paper covered board box, hinged with silk stops, no markings...
I was at a drive up with the wife last week when the young man kept smiling, looking at me, fumbling with our order. Finally he said "I really like your hat!", I said "thank you" then asked for our drinks..and he apologized for his distraction as he handed us the rest of our order....
This...
Here are a few I picked up recently..........
Identified on back as Lake Front Chicago.
And a nice French Chasseur cap!
Not often seen, a boy with a "Crusher" hat....
Miss Biddy, weighs in at 18.2 pounds.
Douglas Furbanks is a very long cat (over three feet nose to tail tip) but leaner build even though he weighs in at 18 lbs as well.
Needless to say the cat tree (in the top picture) is a very large oak structure......;)
VERY VERY NICE! Great to see one in a bigger size show up! I had one pass through my hands, but alas was too small so went to a good home......love that rich color of yours! Great Get!
I have been reticent to look too much for fear of popping some stitching. Will try to mirror around when I feel braver. With the investment I have in this hat I sure don't want to crap it up......Does have a keyhole size tag.
