bespoke fedora 7 1/4 vintage felt

hey fedora gang

here's one fine lid that was entirely custom made a little while ago by the very talented Esther Weis (stalwart member of this vernerable forum)

it's a Bogart/noir inspired lid without a liner with a bound brim, 5 1/2 " crown (open) and 2 3/4 "brim, with a very beautiful bow work on it as you can see

the ribbon is black and 2 " wide

the rabbit felt is from the 40's era as Esther told me, and is very soft and very pliable

it's got a rich chocolate Brown hue (not as reddish as the pics show)

i'm getting rid of a few lids and i never could really warm up to the bound brim (i 'm much more of a raw brim guy actually)

very light weight, very snazzy, virtaully unworn and comes from a smoke free interior


looking at 120 dollars plus shipping for this baby

bump

Please confirm that this is a US 7 1/4 or EU 58, not a UK 7 1/4 or EU 59.
thanks

If only it were a size 7!! It is everything I discussed with that I want. Severe pinch (ala Indy Jones) center dent. Tall crown. I love Esther's kids!
