1982 Shudde Bros Beaver Supreme. 3 1/2 inch brim, about 5 3/4 inch open crown. Probably the dirtiest hat I've ever bought. This was a curiosity purchase as much as anything. I had no idea when Shudde used the Beaver Supreme name, but guessed this hat was at least 1960's or after because of the fake little belt-type plastic hatband, which to me is an insult to a hat of this supposed quality. Turns out the sweatband has a date handwritten on it. The felt seems good for a 80's hat. Can judge better after the hat is cleaned.
Same Shudde after cleaning, crown shaping and adding pencil curl to brim at Paris Hatters. Also replaced the cheap plastic hatband with a ribbon. The original sweatband also had to be replaced because it shrank during cleaning.

Rand’s Custom Hatters 8X (50% beaver) from 2014. Made for Remington Arms Co. Not sure if I should clean it or go with the distressed look. It’s probably not distressed enough for that market.

A great hat in size 7 ⅛? Say it isn’t so. :)
