FOR SALE - 1960's Thoroughbred Premium Strat Clone Fedora SZ 7

[Joshbru3]

Here's a pretty cool Thoroughbred Strat Clone which I believe to be from the 60's. Its labeled size 7 and fits like a size 7. Overall the hat is in really nice shape. There are two flaws. The first, it has a black dirt spot on the crown (See pictures) which probably has to be removed with a little naptha. I don't have any, so I haven't done it. Two, when I received the hat, it had a very strong smoky smell and since has faded a little, but its still pretty smoky. A couple days in a newspaper bag or a naptha bath will take care of that. Overall its a very nice hat to use for an everyday wearer or to make a workhorse. The sweatband could probably use a light coat of mink oil as well, but I will let the next owner take care of that.

Very nice hat deal for someone. I had a similar dark smudge type mark on one of my thin ribbons, and was going to send it off for cleaning, but, I spent several hours over a few days using a clean hat sponge on it, worked it pressing hard at first then as time passed, it was so light I could barely see it. JUST a useful note, this fine hat may not need the bath, but maybe? I wish it was my size, as it is no secret I love thin ribbon hats!

Seems to be very much a buyers market at the moment Josh, especially for small sizes.

There are a ton of nice 7 & 7 1/8 felt hats for sale right now and I've seen a lot of bargain purchases.

With the hot weather we are having, I'm thinking straw when browsing eBay - not really looking to buy though.
