Thanks all!

Gorgeous hat Alan, fabulous find.

Alan, I think the KB&Co is Keith Bros & Company, not Browning King. They were a hat maker out of Chicago who appear to have gone out of business in the early part of the century.

Excellent... and makes a lot of sense. Couldn't figure why Browning King Clothiers would be selling a hat through another retail store. And look at those Krazy Kats!

well done. :eusa_clap

And of course, there is a thread for that. Note the sweatband logo on Josh's old derby.

Yep, your Tiger Hat is most definitely a Keith Brothers product. SUPER rare stuff. They almost never come up for sale, probably because the company went out of business so early in the 20th century. SUPER buy, Alan! :eusa_clap:eusa_clap

1940's Carlsbad

As sold thru Sears 1940 - 1943. 4" brim with pencil roll x 7" Open Crown. In advertisements the color was called "Nutria Tan". I believe it's a wool blend.

Looking for an appropriate vintage horsehair hatband to drop over the ribbon.
