Old Hats From the Sears Roebuck and Wards Catalogues

[Gold Lady]

I was going through some of my old books, and came upon two reproduction catalogs that I haven't looked at in years, a 1895 Montgomery Ward & Co., and a 1927 Sears, Roebuck, and Co.

Thumbing through them, I came across the men's hat sections. There were some great hats back then.
As my husband says, "That's when real men wore hats."

Here are the pages with western styles from the 1895 Wards catalog:

The sombrero with bangles (top, center) is fantastic.

Here are the 1927 Sears hats. Love the bodacious Our Big Boy, and the Carlsbad.

Note to BBB: Why not trap those javelinas in your yard, and start a business making "Bieber" (as opposed to beaver) fur cowboy hats?
