I'm looking for a vintage black, high to very high quality fedora size 7 3/8 or, ideally 7 3/8 LO. Snap brim- 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 inches. Crown- 5 inches or so measured with a crease. It's not like I have anything specific in mind.....:D

You've never heard of a cover story?.....shhhhhhhhshhhhhhhhshhhhhhhh

I wonder if they got the actual hat pictured.

Flattened out by the scanner cover.

That stuff would be fun to find. I guess I'll just keep looking....

I just received a Stetson 3X beaver that I purchased on eBay and found something very interesting in the hat band. The initials JWF are on the band and there was a folded piece of paper in to tighten it a bit. I unfolded the paper and found this: Just finding this made the purchase worth it (...
