FS: Size 7 1/2-5/8 Vintage Barlesoni Velour Rust Royal Beaver wide ribbon fedora

[casechopper]

I bought this off of ebay recently and it's just slightly too small to fit me. If it was even a little bit bigger I would not sell it as it's really an amazing hat. From wearing it I'd say it's between a size 7 1/2 and 7 5/8. I will put up some measurements later. The felt is a thick velour and is really something. The sweatband is split in a few places as shown in the pictures. There is a cellophane? lining between the sweatband and the lining. The lining has piping.

The crown is extremely straight sided.
The brim should be 2 5/8" but I'll measure it myself later tonight.
Ribbon 2"
I'll try to get a crown measurement later tonight.

The color is a little redder than the photos show.
Make an offer on this.

 

[Mr. Lucky]

I am very interested, but you did not state a price!

 

[casechopper]

I would like to get $150 shipped for it but if you'd like to offer less I'll keep you in mind in case no one else is interested.

 

[Mr. Lucky]

That's a little beyond my means right now. BUT I do have a Herbert Johnson, circa late 70's, Optimo panama in 7 3/4 that I'd be willing to offer as a partial trade, if you are interested. It looks a lot like the hat Marcus wears in Last Crusade. It's in fair to good condition (the brim binding needs resewing, but that will be done) and there is a break in the sweat. But it's still a nice hat.

PM me a photo and I'll let you know if we can work something out

Cool hat. That's the first time I've seen the price embossed on the sweatband.

 

[casechopper]

bump, I'll give a discount if anyone wants to purchase more than one of the hats I have up.

Cool hat. That's the first time I've seen the price embossed on the sweatband.

Same here I think it's kind of neat...

I measured and the actual dimensions are as follows:
Brim 2.75"
Crown at highest point 6" (in the center and drops down to about 5.5" at the sides
Opening: 8"X6.75" which gives me a circumference of 24" on an ellipse calculator.
Ribbon is 2"
Wind cord is functional

How about $90 shipped? My hat rack is too full right now and what doesn't fit needs to go.
