Even Cavanagh occasionally made ugly hats.

Really nice. Enviable.
Gee, I don't know. When I wear mine, I just hitch my pants up to my chest, grab that bottle of Metamucil, and head for the Bingo parlor. I may get lucky.Dinerman said:Even Cavanagh occasionally made ugly hats.

Interesting. Compare to this luxurious Western Cavanagh with no price/quality rating:rlk said:

Does anyone know if there is any difference in the felt used in a numbered cavanagh and an unnumbered cavanagh?
I found my first Cavanagh in an antique store today, wonderfully underpriced. Does anyone have an idea for a date on this hat? The felt at the pinch is worn thin, the crease is right-of-center, the brim is wonky and slopes left-of-center, the sweatband (while still fairly soft) is cracked and peeling in places (and not stamped with store or model info), the ribbon is stained, and the bow needs work. But after a good brushing, tossing the ugly feather, and wearing it a while, I realized this hat has a lot of character, and I'm not going to do a thing to it but live in it.
