Size: 7 1/2
Crown: 6"
Brim: 2 1/4" front and back and 1 7/8" sides.

The hat dates to the twenties.

I think this will look great with a black/blue blazer, gray pin striped pants, detachable tuxedo collar, silver tie, white spats, lapel rose, and a white handkerchief. In short, a night at the opera.

I'll post photos when I receive the hat.

A much better derby shot:

Giacomo Puccini.

The man not only knew how to compose, he knew how to dress!

Warning: Eccentricity ahead!

Here she is and in wonderful condition for a vintage 1920's lid. Union label in tact but it's underneath the sweatband so there's no way to get a good shot.

Oh, and my new pair of pince-nez.

[I'm wearing my collar upturned to simulate the look of a detachable collar]

I think the hat calls for a goatee a la Napoleon III!

N'est ce pas?
