This vintage hat was made in the 1910s by the Miller- Allaire company of New York. It has a “United Hatters” union tag, which was replaced by the “United Hatters Caps and Milliners” label in 1934, dating it before that point. It is a transitional soft style, somewhere in between a fedora and a homburg.  The brim doesn’t have a full homburg curl, it’s slightly more relaxed.  It has a wide silk ribbon with a bold bow.  The sweatband is unreeded, with all stitching in tact. The leather is a bit dry, but there is no damage.  The felt is in very good condition- I do not see any moth bites.
