Can someone please tell me what this tags means? It's on a vintage mallory from the 50's. My guess they mean 6 3/4, but unsure. Thanks in advance.

Thanks RBH. I only have a picture of the hat, and am considering purchasing it.

Odds are it is 6-3/4 since it's vintage, but yes, it could be 7-3/4. You could 1) ask the seller the peek behind the sweat and liner to find the factory tag to confirm the size, or 2) ask the seller to measure the length (front to back) and width (side to side) of the head opening. Using those measurements, (L + W)/2 should get you pretty close to a nominal size. Personally, I trust a seller to be able to make a couple simple straight measurements as opposed to poking around behind a sweatband which could cause unwanted damage if not done carefully.

Thanks for your reply. I did ask the seller to measure inside in inches. My guess is you are correct on the 6 3/4.
