A really nice piece of history, this vintage Champ "Feel the Felt" hat is made of genuine velour and contains the United Hatters Cap & Millinery Works International Union label. The brim is 1.5" and crown height is 5" with 4 rows of braided rope at its base and a removable feather accent. Hat comes from a smoke-free, pet-free estate home.

Champ Hats was a brand of the LaSalle Hat Company of Sunbury, PA, and was distributed nationally from at least the 1930s. Considered a budget to mid-quality brand, Champ made a nice quality hat with a lot of style. Champ hats sold for about $7.50 in the 1940s and 1950s.
