Being that we are a hat portal, we receive many interesting inquiries, comments, stories, etc. with regards to hats. Here is an email from a man, a customer in fact who purchased a beret, who provides us with a little family (and American) history. By the way, Cavanagh, his family name, is in fact a famous American hat brand.
My family was in the hat manufacturing [sic] and selling 'hats'. My great-grandfather paid a hatter (Krofort and Knapp)$1.00 a week for his son to get the opportunity to apprentice to a "Hatter". Years later the 'Cavanagh Hat Store' opened at 245? Park Ave. N.Y, N.Y. He invented and patented a technique that allowed the hat (usually Fedoras-the hats that every man wore-every day-rich or poor-shod or bare-footed prior to the 1950's. Every black-and-white movie or newsreel demonstrates this amazing fact) enabling the wearer to 'fix' his hat every A.M. or hour, minute, etc. and yet retain its shape for a lifetime. You should know the name of the this famous (enough to set it apart and above all the other fine hats of the era. Most wearers and all 'true' hat-men' knew, by definition, the feature that made a "Cavanagh" the finest and most popular hat of the time. Do you know it? I'll bet you--do. The "Cav Edge" revolutionized fine men's headwear. The store was elegance itself. Customers rang Ed for custom work from General Macarthur’s (sic) to Cardinal Pacelli-before he became "Pius XII" - and everybody between them. Almost! In time "Dobbs", "Knox" and Cavangh worked under the same roof: ‘The Hat Corporation of America, Norwalk Connecticut. My grandfather (whom I do remember) was born in 1865-just before the Civil War ended. He became the corporation’s President and also Chairman of its Board of Directors - and here I am buying a beret-an affectation-as another prop for the one act play I call my name.
[sic]Sorry. I hope.
ok, so what the heck IS the "Cavanaugh Edge"?? the sentence about the hat's wonderful properties got kind of garbled, and I"m noT sure what made them so speciAl,

Kit -
Having the same question, I replied to his email, but never received a response. I'll look into this and get back to you if I can get an answer.
Thanks,

Here is a forum post explaining some interesting things about the Cavanagh edge. Believe it or not, we still have one or two of them in our store (they are about 30+ years old, now)

The edge is a self felted edge that is "hemmed" but not adhered by stitching or any other method except the felting profess.
Hope this helps. Do come join the hat forum to learn all you want about hats. www.gladhatter.com/forum

Hi.
I'm doing research on the Burke & Hare trial in Edinburgh, Scotland ca. 1825. What sort of hats would people be wearing then? Can some kind soul direct me to visual reference for this material?
Thanks!
