It's all in the title.. if you have one lying around, doing nothing in a size 7½.. (inner circumference. needs to be at least 23½ inch)..

Thanks,
Diego

You know, you might want to check with Mr. E Train. A few months back I sold one to him, a small 7 3/4, and I haven't seen him wear it since!

I have a Midnight Blue St. Regis in mint condition, it appears to have only been worn a handful of times (c. late 40s-early 50s). However, I am a 7 1/4 and that's what the tagged size is but it is quite large on me. I'd guess it's more like a 7 3/8 maybe even bigger. I bought it last Spring but haven't really worn it because it's too big. If you're interested, I can measure the inner circumference and take some photos later today.

I'm very interested, but I would not like to stretch a hat like yours, afraid to ruin it.. Could you please measure the inner circumference if that's not too much to ask for?

Thanks in advance Viper Man

Sorry, Diego. I re-measured and it's closer to 23". I thought it was larger. :eusa_doh:

It's in amazing condition. However, I clipped a small piece of the reeded sweatband off in the back, near the tag. It was exposed and oxidizing and I was afraid that the felt might get stained.

thanks a lot Viper Man.. that's a wonderful specimen.. I'm afraid it's a wholelot too small for my big melon, but I'm sure the hat will find a good home if it hasn't allready..

Thanks and good luck. Sorry for hijacking your thread. I'll edit out the photos if you prefer.
