no size tag, but both hats were bought together and appear to be sized the
same. There was a tag that said long oval though.
The brim is 3 inches wide, with a 1/2 inch binding. The crown is 5 1/2 inches tall, and the ribbon is 1 .25 inches wide. I can veryfy the date being 1952...
So,
You can make a pair of black captoe boots?
Thats really what ive been waiting for, for a very long time.
I've settled with aldens, but thats the type ive been looking for.
Whats the starting cost?

Ive worn it so much its ended up looking like a raiders fedora. Just because i handle it by the pinch. I was trying to get away from raiders styling but it just went in there. Ive worn it in the rain a few times with no ill effects.
Its a mode brim...

I just recieved a grey hat off of ebay,
the felt is just fantastic! and it feels like its never

cigar shop, and some of the brim, has a yellow tinge to it.
