Cool (But Sold) eBay Stuff

[Baron Kurtz]

I suspect a Mossant carried in a Cavanagh store. Or even with a liner replaced by Cavanagh sometime after the hat was purchased.

A bit like my G. B. Borsalino with a Mallory liner.


Although, in this one, the grosgrain sweatband (odd, no?) seems to match the grosgrain liner, so my theory is probably hogwash. Clearly not made for the domestic French market.

Strange set up. Looks like something modern but the names make it even stranger. [huh] :eusa_doh:

 

[Anthony Jordan]

I note with interest that the new Mossants brought out by Herald and Heart here in the U.K. (who bought the name a few years ago now) also have grosgrain sweatbands; perhaps an homage to the original line? - I've never seen an original example before now to check.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

That's a good point. Do we know the one above is definitely Golden Era?

The photo below is of the Chapeau Mossant stamp in the sweatband. Would this indicate that this hat was sold on the French domestic market? Could this hat possibly predate the Golden Age? Possibly 20's or 30's?

 

[Baron Kurtz]

I would say the "Made in France" precludes intended sale in France. Then it would say "Fabriqué en Française", or something similar (my French is as rusty as ever).

Also, a golden era Mossant wold have stated Mossant Fréres, not Chapeau Mossant (at least in my experience). An example:

So, this is probably a hat made in France by Chapeau Mossant for Cavanagh distribution in the US.

Does that seem to be the most likely provenance for this hat?

You just bought a waistcoat with a "slip." Please, please photograph it well when it arrives? We've discussed these here but as far as I know, have only seen them in posed photos. I should think that's a <1925 piece.

Here's a slip:

This is beautiful! I love all the details.

 

[scotrace]

Thank you Anthony. Slips are one of those fascinating details I love to see.

 

[Orgetorix]

The slip is the reason I bought it. I will certainly take pictures when it arrives.
