why has no one got this one its a nice hat
One reason might be that it takes a long time to load the images.
In my opinion, that bow could not have been made before the 60s.
Champ made great hats in the 60s. Not sure where the 30s date
comes from.

I'd say mid '50s. After that, they changed their sweatbands to a darker, textured brown, then to black. I have one of these, and when they say featherweight, they're not kidding.
