Justdog, There are some members here who may be able to provide more definitive information. Jimmy the Lid, Brad Bowers, Dinerman, and Lefty come to mind on my short list. This is one of those threads where HATCO may be able to shed more light on the subject. I hope one or more of these folks...

Great Mallory, Dman! Can you tell us more about the hat and perhaps post a picture(s) of the sweatband and liner?
It's nice to see pictures of so many hats but we don't often get any additional information about some of these vintage lids. That's one of the reasons I initially...

I noticed the caption on one photo referred to the "Weekly Market". Is the industry similar to that in Ecuador where individual...
THanks, JTL. I hope it looks good with the dimensions posted. If not, a brim trim may be in order.
Have you posted anything on that Australian OR yet? I decided not to bid on it. Too small. Did someone here win it?
dhermann1, That's a neat hat. The Pilbara would be an excellent candidate for...
I won this safari fedora by Hunting World yesterday. No ribbon and the seller attested that it is fur felt. What kind of fur? [huh]
