HATS magazine is a reading favorite. Having acquired many some are scanned, and the originals listed. Perhaps you want to know more about the hats of the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s? If you are looking for a certain issue, perhaps it is sitting here waiting to be scanned; convo me and I can list the original.

Bes-Ben hats are among the treasured Chicago vintage hats have been listed here, but more are available, if you inquire. Need some for a display or exhibit? Just ask.
Over the years plenty of the top two Chicago milliner icon hats, Bes-Ben and Raymond Hudd, have been sold from this shop.

👒🌸👒A word about JEWELRY👒🌸👒
The jewelry listed in this shop is from the collection of Linda Feigenheimer. She was a Winnetka, IL woman who collected vintage fashion extensively. She is known as the woman who spent $18,000+ for one hat at auction, with a total of at least $30K spent on hats alone that day. Necklaces, pins, bracelets and earrings have a great story to share.

Bes-Ben hats are always fun. Benjamin Green-field and in the beginning, his sister
Bessie, made high end hats from 1919 onward into the early 1970s.
Periodically there are few of my collection listed here, and several of mine are listed on another online shopping site. Many MORE available, just ask.
