Vintage 1920s 30s Brock Fedora – Wolthausen Hat Co., Brockville, Ontario Jamaica dress Label: Ralph Lauren blue labelThis vintage Brock fedora was produced by the Wolthausen Hat Company of Brockville, Ontario, founded in 1905. Production ended around 1933 following the founders death, and the factory was later acquired by Stetson in 1935.

The felt presents a distinctive greenish brown tone appearing more olive in natural light and warmer
