WONDERFUL (and likely unworn) Stalking Hat from Harrods of London!
This is beautiful--a classic British Stalking hat in a classic guncheck pattern, sold by Harrods of London!
Until it was purchased by el Fayad, Harrods was known as THE upper-class department store in London, eclipsing its closest rival Fortnum and Mason by sheer size. The reign of Fayed saw a decline in Harrods' social fortunes as the interior of the building was subject to his rather.... un-British taste, although the quality of the goods that it sold remained unaffected. Harrods was sold to the state of Qatar in 2015 for a reported $1.5 BILLION, and its social status has improved dramatically.
But none of that has any bearing on this lovely hat, which was Made in Great Britain from pure new wool, and which is in absolutely excellent condition--it is possibly unworn. It is tagged size (UK) 7 1/8 (EU 58), which is a US 7 1/4. But it seems to fit closer to a US 7 1/8.
Asking just $29, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA.
