Description

In vintage baseball game footage, especially from the 1930s and ’40s, every man can be seen wearing a hat. A well-dressed man wouldn’t leave home without one. This over-sized hat box-shaped catalog has four­ pop-up hats “styled and tailored by Disney” on each page. Disney Hats was founded in 1885 but after several acquisitions, the Disney Hat brand was lastly acquired by the John B. Stetson Co. in 1960.
