They don't make this very easy. Again. http://www.flickriver.com/photos/jgt348/sets/
What size is it? Just curious.
...I have been in the dry cleaning industry all my life and can identify most fabrics and it doesn't look like silk to me and you can move your hand one way on the hat and it is very soft and smooth, the other way and it is going against the grain is the only reason I thought it might be fur of some kind. I hope Josh can shed some light on it so I can put the information with the hat.

Josh, Good info!
Interesting that you would be asking this question today, Josh. When Alan and I met the other day, the hat (of his collection) he mentioned specifically as a favorite was his Hawes.
I hope your outreach turns up others.
They do pop up on Ebay once in a while but mostly top hats and derbies. I've only seen one or two soft hats from them.
