Here is a nice looking porkpie with back bow in a size 7 1/4, custom made by Bee Hats in the 1950s, I'd guess it to be from the middle part of the decade.

It's in overall very nice condition, I can't find any real flaws on the felt, but there is a small "pinch" on the front of the crown. A few stitches are missing from the back part of the unreeded sweatband, but it's still solidly attached, and there's a little spot on the back of the sweat where it looks like a piece of tape was torn off.

Size is 7 1/4, head opening measures 7 7/8 by 6 3/8. It fits high on my 7 3/8 head.

Brim measures just over 2 inches with underwelt brim, and crown is 3 3/4 inches high.

Asking $85 shipped within the continental US.
