Two amazing 1920s/30s 7 1/4 hats for damn near the price of one.
$285 shipped
within the USA
This hat came from the deadstock lot found in the closed Eakle store.
--------
1920s Schoble Sportex
I can only find this hat model mentioned in a 1924 newspaper.
The hat is a tan colored felt, with a brown hatband.
Very minor mothing. Hat looks to be flanged to be worn with the brim up, or snapped in the front. NO popped stitches, and the taped sweatband seam remains intact.
Brim: 2 1/8"
Open Crown: 5"

1930s fedora made for the George I. Eakle store
I believe this hat to be a private order piece, and it is identical to another hat from the lot that is a Stetson. A very rare example indeed
This is a great hat, and a very rare piece of hat history. this is as close as you can get to owning a brand new 1930s hat.
The hat is grey in color, with a black hatband and off white/grey brim binding
The liner is a purple blue color
The sweatband has slight tears to it, but is extremely wearable.
The hat has a VERY rare style sweatband attachment, known as the "BON TON IVY". It allows the sweatband to be shrunk by tightening two cords tucked away under the sweat at the back of the hat. Occasionally seen on derbies and boaters, this is one of the few fedora hats to have this feature.
There is some moth damage to the crown, but they do not make the hat any less wearable
Has a 7 3/8 Size sticker & a 7 1/4 size label
Brim: 2"
Open Crown: 5 1/2"
Circumference: 22.75"
