Gay Prince is a specific Dobbs model, yes. It's the most well known of this style of hat, but had a whip stitch brim. Stetson also has the similar Tijuana.

And the brim on the Cav I just bought is called a whip stitch brim, right?

Has anybody ordered online from the Levine Hat Co. & if so what was your experience? Thank you very much.

That looks like a decorative running stitch on an overwelt. Very unique treatment. New to me at least.

Here's my Gay Prince for comparison

Thank you, Jared. Can you tell me anything else about the Cav?

unfortunately no. I did look up that store, which is here in SF. An online/catalogue iteration of the business still exists, although the last brick and mortar store connected with the original business closed in 2000. As they were founded in 1853, that unfortunately doesn't help date the hat either. Hopefully someone with Cavanagh knowledge can chime in.

De nada.

a stab in the dark guess would be 40's. The Gay Prince was mid 40's I believe and unlined hats would also have been common then.

You already know I’m not an authority on this, but it sure looks like a 1930’s hat to me. A couple minutes on the Hatted Professor seems to confirm this, but I’m sure someone more knowledgeable will post tomorrow: this hat is sure to elicit a response!

Well, more clues from Mr. Bowers, even in absentia

I'm seeing "Park avenue at 47th st" on the the tip liner. This was adopted ca. 1936 when they expanded from 247 Park ave.

those definitely look like 30's labels according to the above. Nice score!

I want to make a little fedora for my dog, he is a medium sized dog (who frankly doesn't much like hats) but I think it would look fedorable.

Has anyone done so before and does anyone have any recommendations about it?

Gotta admit I've not seen a Cavanagh quite like that one.

Sent directly from my mind to yours.

Both hats - whatever the model or year, look incredible. Nice score!

I don't know what breed he is, but you could make him a little Whippet.

Yes, it's been done. From the files, here’s Miles. He prefers straws, for the breathability, but he also seems to have an aversion to FUR felt, for some reason...

I am sporting a marvelous Mallory, for an attempt at Youthful Smartness!

Please pardon the blurry morning eyes, mates.

 

[hatsRme]

I wouldn't put a tremendous amount of time and effort into the project. This one cost me all 0f $2.49...

You want to be careful, a dog in a hat, talk about: "Who let the dogs out?"

There again, a dog in a hat has to be the coolest dude at the card game.
