need more of that

Fantastic! What great information about styles popular in that decade! It would be great to get many of those over the years, so one could see which style pertained to which era. Actually there is no other way to know, systematically.

Cool.

I assume those prices are per dozen, wholesale?

Nearly a full century on and some of those styles wouldn't look out of place today. I can see the precursors of several "Golden Era" styles in those pages.

922

Say, Tony! Style 922 looks right up your alley. The ribbon bow looks reminiscent of your work. Are you channeling the spirit of an early 20th century hat maker?

Great find! Styles 928, 918, and 919 are my favorites, although I particularly like many of the of the wider brimmed "cowboy" styles and homburgs as well. Most of these look really sharp though.
