1930s sheepskin shawl collar mackinaw
This 1930s sheepskin shawl collar mackinaw is a rare, large size- 48. It has a sheepskin lining and collar, with blanket lined sleeves, and a cotton shell.
1930s Miller Cowboy Hat
Wide brim, tall crown, thin ribbon, super thin floppy felt. Sort of a sign of things to come- a shift away from the curled brims and wider ribbons.
Unlined with silkscreened crown logo. Lots of imprints on the sweatband.
XXXX beaver custom western
This hat is probably from the 1960s, but it really channels hats of the turn of the century. It has a center creased crown, with a short-ish pencil curled raw edge brim. Sort of a western homburg. The ribbon work is also in the style of an earlier period, wide, but with a bow similar to those found on Stetson Open Roads.
Davis Hats- “The Alamo”
This is a great example of a western fedora. It shows lines from where it was once creased as more of a cattleman, but the blocking and flanging are pure fedora. Dating is a bit more difficult for custom hats, but I’d place this one at sometime in the ’50s.
Late 1950s Stetson Open Road
Here’s a great example of a late 1950s Stetson Open road, creased with a diamond crown. It’s the 3x felt designation, indicating quite high quality felt; much better than what Stetson is currently calling 3x. Size tag, sweatband color and imprint and design of liner point to a date in the late ’50s, possibly pushing into the early 1960s.
