Bill I have tried a few and none so far do them....so I was hoping to avoid many more emails/calls by seeing if anyone here knows one who does do wind cords......

Mike Miller of Northwest Hats has offered to install them on my hats before. So he may have some He might be willing to sale.

That is a real beauty. My estimate would be pre war. Late 30s to early 40s.

I think there have been one prior. Moon sent me this one he said ran through about 1929

I had not seen it before either.

The above square hat bash search got me to start re-watching The Rockford Files in its entirety. First time since the seventies.

Anyway, I just spotted this in Season 2. Apparently like father like son:

Not at the moment… but I remember that happening to me a month or so back. I thought.. oh this is going to be a bit much. But then it resolved itself rather quickly.

I've had to do that a few times since The Lounge updated/switched their software two or three years ago. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I have a question about Dalton hats, when did they stop being produced? Would newer hats have a union label? Thanks!

First, here is the Dalton thread.

https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/going-atomic-with-dalton.57089/

The name was sold in 1952, but there are examples of them as late as the 1960s. I think the later ones are Daltons in name only.

There should be more detail in the thread.

Thanks, I did read through that thread already. I found a hat that puzzles me, it is an unlined Dalton with a non-leather sweat but it does have the union tag. Was guessing 60s but didn't have anything to compare it to.

Pics? Maybe we can narrow it down.
