We wrote Stetson in the title because most folks think that Stetson was the only and best hat manufacturer, NOT TRUE! Back then All these hat manufacturers we all excellent! Please take a minute to look through dads vintage hats that are listed and you’ll see there were so many back in the day. They were all excellent and very competitive. This classic Bowler is just the hat that folks look at and see prestige and status. The bowler came about when equestrian riders with their top hats falling off all the time and at that time hat were considered a must.

It was stored in that 1930s Green Knox hat box. The underside of that box is badly broken and won’t holdup to be shipped, very poor underside. The newer 1960s Knox box and the other hand is in very good condition, without inserts. The tissue paper is old and yellowed but it was wrapped (unless dad can find some newer tissue paper) around the hat and will be included in the box. Don’t worry it will be very well packed.
