I kinda want to cuddle with it.

Seriously, Alan, it's awe-inspiring down to every detail. I'm smitten with the perforated sweat at that great angle.

An outstanding early soft hat, and a remarkable survivor which scarcely shows any evidence of its passage through time. Congratulations, Alan, and may you enjoy it thoroughly!

Hawes/Hawes Von Gal/Von Gal ads from “The American Hatter” (Page 1)

About two months ago I went through EVERY single issue of American Hatter on Google looking for Hawes/Hawes Von Gal ads. I found a wealth of information for the timeline that I'm trying to put together along with a ton of ads from different years that I've never seen before. Some of the ads even have "style numbers" that allowed the customers to order the same hat in the picture. If more Hawes/Hawes Von Gal hats are found, it may be possible that some of the re-order tags list a style number and we can see what that hat was suppose to look like when new.

I will be adding more info in the coming weeks, but here's the ads for now.
