Alan, I really like your latest Cavanagh. I think I have one that is very similar.
BK, Great find! It does look like an old NOS.
Thank you Steve... and +1 to the Baron's nice cap.

Here's an interesting link for anyone that hasn't seen this before. It seems that the "United Hatters of North America" trademark was registered in 10/10/1916. I was always curious when that trademark started. We know that The United Hatters Cap and Millinery Workers International Union (UHCMW) was formed in 1934 by the amalgamation of United Hatters of North America (UHNA) and the Cloth Hat, Cap and Millinery Workers International Union (CHCMW).
Wow... almost back to page three for this thread!
I passed along my only Cavanagh a while back... loved the construction, but a very narrow brim dressy black hat... I almost never wore it. I've been looking for an older example without much success, but did recently find this mid century chocolate brown with a 2 1/4" brim. This one will see more time out in the fresh air.

Beautiful! I want it!The postman came while I was shaving this morning. I went to the door in my towel with lather still on my head to find this sitting on the floor in the hallway. I bought it without knowing the size, and it turned out to be too big for me. Ah well, it's a beautiful hat. Someone else will love it I'm sure.

That is just about the perfect hat in my estimation. Excuse me while I covet.
Interesting. What does it say under the sweat? Color/model? Buffalo?
The tooled sweat is interesting- the one that used to be on my OR-style Cav
had tooling, but most Cav sweats I've seen don't. Figured it might accompany a
particular quality designation.
I have a couple like this (photographs somewhere on this site). Favorite hats.
Take all kinds of punishment. Congrats.
