What kind of hat is this? Wide brimmed natural woven fibers.
You win! I was thinking South America. Your tip sent me off looking at Africa, and I think I've figured it out. It's probably a Bolga sun hat (elephant grass). Most seem to come from Ghana. Thanks! -

What kind of hat is this? Wide brimmed natural woven fibers.
As a fair skinned bald guy, I'm always looking for a good wide brimmed summer sun hat. I found this handsome devil at the thrift store, and I'm curious if this is a known style. I'm fairly confident it is a men's hat - mostly because it fits on my giant melon - but I'd be comfortable wearing it... -

Identifying maker of store branded cowboy hat? Leader Western Stores, Denver CO
Funny thing, after looking at other examples online - many with tacky feathered bands - this hat now looks very "Travolta" to me. Ha. -

Identifying maker of store branded cowboy hat? Leader Western Stores, Denver CO
That was quick! I think you're absolutely correct. Looking at Thoroughbred hats online, the lining and shape looks pretty much identical to most examples I've seen. Thanks! -

Identifying maker of store branded cowboy hat? Leader Western Stores, Denver CO
I found this handsome cowboy hat in exceptionally clean condition. I'm assuming that many store branded hats were made by major manufacturers, but that the best quality ones would retain manufacturer's branding. After all, if it was Stetson, you'd want to announce that... right? I can find... -

Help ID leather jacket - plaid pocket bags and SERVAL zipper
Wow, that was fast! Thanks so much. I've emailed pics to a few dealers and bloggers, but nobody had any idea. I'm guessing it's from the early seventies, does that sound about right? Did they always use plaid for the pocket bags, or does that help narrow down an age? Unfortunately I don't have...- Honez

Dating Outerwear by zipper design
Hi 53Effie, did you ever find out more about SERVAL? I have a similar Perfecto style leather with SERVAL zips, and would love to hear what you've learned. Most of the info I've found online has more to do with the factory's sign, which was famously visible from Shea Stadium, but little or no...- Honez

Help ID leather jacket - plaid pocket bags and SERVAL zipper
Hoping to ID a maker and general age for this jacket. The leather is very thick, and the quality seems on par with my old Perfecto. The zip-in liner is missing so the manufacturer's tag is gone. The inside lining is a heavy nylon, but the stitching looks a little wobbly, so it may have been...- Honez

Willis & Geiger popover safari anorak mystery.
Found this strange Willis & Geiger hooded popover safari shirt, and I can't find ANY info about this item online. Has anyone seen anything like it before? It's 100% cotton and made in the USA. Does the dark red W&G label indicate a date? 80s-90s?- Honez

Pre 1940s Stetson Westerns
I'd like to thank you guys again for the good feedback on my Stetson Boss. I've now got my eyes peeled for old hats whenever I go shopping, and I've found a few more that I look forward to sporting once the weather cools off and my good outerwear comes out. (Fall is easily my favorite season for... -

Pre 1940s Stetson Westerns
Thanks everyone. I'm an avid "thrifter," so I find vintage hats all the time but almost never buy them. This one just screamed "I'm special, buy me!" It is just a little tight (but may be wearable) on my big head. I looked like to total dork when I tried it on wearing a polo shirt, but when I... -

Pre 1940s Stetson Westerns
Boss Raw Edge Hi, new member to the forum. I've been visiting for years, and I've learned a TON about vintage clothes, but finally had a question that prompted me to register. I just found a Stetson Boss Raw Edge with a Fray sweatband that's in pretty nice shape. Reading blog posts about...
