In the 90s today… out came one Of the lightest of my light felts…. Lee Smartlee. If it weren’t for the late 50s to 1960s Lee logo I might think this a 30s felt. Incredibly thin and lightweight. Wearing it in honor of a similar looking actual 1930s Dobbs light felt I boneheadedly let slip...
Thank you Steve. It is really well made with impressive proportions and wonderful petting felt. I was going to ask your impressions of it before purchasing. But I decided I’d just go ahead and let it be a surprise. I am very happy with it.
Thank you Mark! It is an odd sounding name. The company was named for the town it was located in the Manchester region of England.
Thanks again Stefan!
