Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Son of a gun! It does have a Cavanagh edge. You folks have good eyes. I hope you can see it in the photos but I can see it and feel it, now that I know what to look for. Thanks for the link Bob and the "slightly thicker" mention Joe. I envisioned a rounded edge but it is flat. You can feel it... -

I am a 7 5/8. The hats with 5/8 or 3/4 could be a 6 and …5/8 or 7 5/8. That’s what I meant by 6 or 7. I was not clear. I called a store in Texas and the fella told me that if it doesn’t fit me, it’s a 6 5/8 and if it fits it is 7 5/8. He was so good natured and funny that he made me laugh but... -
