Hatters Inc. Fort Worth XXXXX Beaver Black Felt Cowboy Hat, Size 7 3/8
A black XXXXX beaver felt western hat by Hatters Inc., Fort Worth, Texas, dressed in a cattleman crease with a tall crown and a wide, gently rolled brim. A narrow black grosgrain band circles the base of the crown, finished with a tailored bow at the back. The leather sweatband carries the gold-stamped maker mark reading Hatters / Ft. Worth, Tex. / XXXXX Beaver, with the satin lining bearing the embossed Hatters Inc. logo.
The five-X beaver rating denotes a high felt quality within the maker's range — a benchmark long used by Texas hatters to grade fur-felt density and finish. Fort Worth's hatmaking trade tied directly to the Stockyards and the working cattle culture that surrounded it, and a XXXXX beaver dress hat in solid black reads as both a working and a Sunday-best piece in that tradition.
CONDITION
Good with no damage. Felt is clean and holds its crease and brim shape; sweatband and lining are intact with the maker marks legible.
