    Hello again CW friends!

    This would be the interior and silk top hat from the Tress & Co. London top hat case that I just previously posted. This one is from the early 1900's. The case is in premium condition. The interior is near mint condition and lined with a beautiful red velvet type fabric.

    The silk top hat is still in pretty fair condition. Though the moths have started to nibble at the wool hat band, it's still pretty special in my opinion.

    Tress & Co. London made this one expressly for "Sutherland's of 3 Reform St, Dundee. I have attempted to locate information on Sutherland's, but I have been unable to come up with anything in regards to this store.

    If any of our CW friends from across the pond can tell me anything in regards to Sutherland's and what period of time they existed, I'd be very grateful!

    Thanks for stopping to have a look!

    Scott

      Thanks, I'm so glad you like these! I have quite a passion for these and antique trunks as well. Basically, anything travel related from the Victorian and Edwardian eras.

      Hi Scott,

      My name is Charlie and I have recently inherited a Tress and Co. top hat that is almost identical to this. It was my Great Great Grandfather's and was then inherited by my Grandfather and now is mine. I am desperately trying to date it to work out when my Great Great Grandfather bought it. How did you work out that this hat was from the early 1900s?

      Best wishes,
      Charlie
    14. jscott0363 jscott0363, 3 years ago
      Hi Charlie!
      These beaver felt too hats were only made up until about 1900-1905. After that, ermine or rabbit felt was utilized. Given this style of hat, it would have more than likely been made between the 1870’s to 1905. This one was dated as it was made for Sutherland’s by Tress & Co. Hope this helps.

      Hi Scott,

      Thank you very much for this! How can I identify the type of felt used? If I send you a photo of the hat, could you possibly give me an estimate of a date for it? Thank you very much.

      Best wishes,

      Charlie

      Hi Charlie!
      Yes, send me a photo and I’ll see what I can do. Make sure to include a photo of the inside showing the label. My email address is shown in my profile. Looking forward to hearing from you.
