Be careful what color shelf paper you sit it on...you got the rare chameleon beaver fur.

 

[scottyrocks]

That would be an amazing hat to have. It automatically color matches your outfit.

He must have gotten one in Chameleon Gray.

Tapatalk is on another streak of losing my connection,which means I lose anything I've written or asked if I haven't sent it. I'm going to try this again. I'll probably get really ticked off if it happens this time though and then refuse to ever ask this question in this venue. You'll never even know that I had it.
I thought I should try to get this warning out first; just in case.

Given the frequency this seems to happen to you, how about utilizing a text editor/notepad type app? Granted, not ideal, but better than being continually frustrated. Select All, Copy, Paste

That probably is a very good idea. I've had occaisional waves of it behaving eratically, but it then seems to resolve itself and behave reliably for an extended time.
It has been annoying, but the frustration hasn't run deep enough to do anything but try to keep a sense of humor. So far, at least. I've never even looked into an app designed as a word prosessor.

It's highly doubtful Monkey Ward produced their own hats. They almost certainly contracted with someone like Lee or HatCo.

It would be great if the time period could be identified as well.

Inside of hat shows some "discoloration". Can this be easily removed with a wipe or should it be professionally cleaned ?

Late 50s...back bow maybe?

Liner stains are hard to get out.

It's a fedora. Royal is a quality designation, price point. Stetson put out a number of hats w/o model names in or on the hat. With the pics provided I'd guess late 50's-early 60's range. Appears to be a back bow with about a 2' brim, a style a little more popular in the early 60's.

Thanks for the input. How does one tell the size ? Size indicator displays 1/2 ??

2' brim now that is a brim Joao would love.

Welcome!

I agree with the assessments other have made. I’d guess mid to late 1950s size 7 1/4. Although we all love pristine hats, the liner doesn’t bother me. I’m used to seeing hats in larger sizes so it’s hard for me to guess the brim width on this hat, but it’s at least 2” and maybe a bit more. If you like the style it should make you a nice trim fedora.

Am I correct that his hat is made out of felt ?
