This was the only tag behind the sweat of the Sunnington @steur and @FrunobulaxSUNNINGTON
I believe this to be appropriate thread to post this lesser known hat.
Beautiful bone color with 1 1/2” black ribbon/bow in size 7. Unreeded sweat that I didn’t feel safe in trying to peek behind for tags and info. 2 5/8” bound brim, 4 1/2” crown as bashed. Beautiful art deco liner. A very stunning hat.

Nothing to go on one way or the other. Could still be one though. The name and location of the retailer on the liner or sweatband doesn't have any relation to the manufacturer.Can't get much more generic than that. I don't think it's a Dalton, however. I was going to guess G.W. Alexander, but they were in Reading, PA...
I ended up trading this and another for a Marathon Panama. In hindsight I should’ve offered to send it to the Netherlands. I believe it was your size, cost me next to nothing and was a gorgeous, unique fedora. I’ll check with you if and when next time.Nothing to go on one way or the other. Could still be one though.

Thanks Bob, It was one of the 3. However they were all different sizes, 7 1/8, 7 1/4, 7 1/2.Very nice Greg! Was this one of the three that were on Goodwill recently? Glad to see at least one show up here. The original owner (of all three I assume) must have liked them too.
My father George J. Chantiles was the hatter that created these beauties. He passed away 41 years ago. Sarthena by Chantiles was a combination of my sister's name Sarita and myself Athena. I used to watch him take a flat piece of felt and create a custom hat for his customers. He was an amazing man. His father and one brother were also hatters. We lived upstairs from the shop. I'd love to be able to find one of his hats one day. I'm glad some are still around. Sadly, he passed when I was only 14 so he wasn't able to pass the trade on to me. Thanks for posting this, it brightened my day.These three from Chantiles Hat Shoppe of York, PA came across Goodwill. Did anyone here get them?
