Maybe someone else posted this? I’ll look to add it over to the Mac thread. George McLaclan (note spelling) founded George McLachlan and Sons Inc hat company that supplied felts and MacLachlan Hats Inc.

Obit and 1961 announcement of layoffs.

Another Mac Lachlan with an Air-Vac sweatband. The absence of stitching at the front is interesting. It was intentional, and that portion of the sweatband is still connected to the hat, but it’s not done via the normal stitching method.

The region without the standard stitching also corresponds to a scalloped or corrugated imprint into the felt.

My curiosity is piqued.
