    Hello everyone!
    Thank you for creating this wonderful site. I have a hat which I can't seem to identify. Originally I thought it might be a Mr . John but it just doesn't look like any of his labels I have seen. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks, Sam

    Interesting. Is the wording woven or printed?

    I have not seen that label used on a Mr. John hat.

    Mr. John probably had more versions of his label and his lines than any milliner, ever. But I have never seen this one. It almost looks more like Mm than Mr, and the label is sewn on incorrectly and with the wrong color thread. I really have no idea!

    Thank you for your input and good observation. I hadn’t thought perhaps the label was not meant for this hat. Interesting! Or it was just an obscure hat maker. The mystery continues. ;)
     
  6. Almost looks like ?? John nic. Never seen this label before.
