This catalog listing of antique men’s hats includes a variety of nine hats. The illustrated hats in the listing are: Our Holloway Special, Men’s Large Shape Stiff Hats, The Holloway Men’s Large Shape Hat, Dunlap Styles, Dressy Fedora Hat, Trebor Hat, Special Soft Hat, a New Style Holloway Hat, and The Holloway Special.
While most of the hats advertised cost $1.00, $1.50 and $2.00, a very fine quality silk hat was available for $5.00. If ordering by mail, postage rates were between 25 and 28 cents.
I selected five of the illustrated hats from the antique men’s hats catalog listing to convert to black and white clip art versions.
Men’s Large Shape Stiff Hat
Dressy Fedora Hat
Special Soft Hat
New Style Holloway Hat
The Holloway Special
I scanned the pages from the 1905 Sears, Roebuck & Co. catalogue (the newest addition to my collection of antique books).

Love the old 1905 Men’s Hats! My Dad (born in 1918) always wore beautiful fedoras. My favourite was a navy plush one with feathers. 🙂 Thanks so much.
That’s a special memory, Bev. Thank you so much for sharing it! 😊
