One thing that comes up often is trying to date a hat and sometimes with ad's and various info you can get a feel for the production date of your vintage hat.
A fair number of us are either purchasing new hats or considering making a purchase of a fine new hat. WELLLLL, I thought about it and said, perhaps when ever a new hat gets bought and you're sure it's a keeper, you might consider writing the year or complete date of your purchase inside the sweat band OR maybe create your best version of the "reorder card" with the date to slip inside the hat. That way 60 years from now an intrepid young man with a sense of style that's bought your hat at an estate sale, will know about as much about that vintage hat he's buying as you can possibly pass on.
And for a vintage hat you can do the same, listing what you do know.
Much like those picture of relatives that we don't know much about, there is no time like the present to record the information, because so quickly is it lost!
