Montecristi custom dress-weight fedora
Montecristi custom dress-weight fedora with boxOne of F&D Co.'s first projects was to research and understand fedoras from the '40s and '50s. I have a stack of 30 some-odd vintage fedoras in my attic waiting to be photographed, described, and listed to the Ebay store. Here are two choice hats from the collection:
Stetson 100 "Open Road"
The hat of presidents, cattle barons, and oil moguls, the 100 is the finest hat Stetson ever made. In the late '40s- early '50s, this hat sold for the princely sum of $100. 100% pure beaver silver belly, this hat has the finest, firmest felt I've ever seen in a hat- smooth as a baby's butt. If you could get a hat of this quality made today, it would set you back a couple of grand.
As good as it gets: new-old-stock, and unworn. The wayback machine doesn't cough up gems like this very often.

I had this hat made for me by Montecristi Custom Hat Works on a swing through Sante Fe a couple of years ago. Dimensions and details were taken from a vintage Pilgrim that was my every-day hat at the time. 100% pure beaver, Silver Belly with bound brim. New and unworn.
