What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

Many of the vibrantly colored Stetsons from this period (late 1930s-early 1940s) that I have found were sold in Los Angeles.

Today....instead of picking a jacket to match a hat i went the other way for Grandpa duties this day. Thought i’d run my finger around the inside crown and watch the felt follow. It did. Can’t say enough about fine finger felt!

Thanks, Bowen. It turned out a very nice one after I combed its hair. Still, not in the same league as the angora ones you and Mike have in custody. Is yours a Gorascu model too by the way?

I have read that in the late 50’s Penney’s dumped Lee and contracted Resistol to produce the Marathon and Towncraft line.

I recognized that size tag as you did. I have a Bradford with that same tag, as well as the Kevin McAndrew I recently acquired. The liners are also very similar. Desert Dog found some interesting info on a few hat companies that was owned by Byer - Rolnick. I knew about Resistol and Bradford but I was surprised to learn that Byer - Rolnick also had Church Hill and Kevin McAndrew.

Must have missed the velour memo of today, but these two hats have it well covered. Great hats.

Indeed it is a Gorascu Stefan.
