I'm doing a little hat herd-thinning, and these redundancies in my collection have got to go! I'll give them 48 hours here, and then they're off to the bay.
CHAMP SPACEWEIGHT FEDORA- Medium Gray, 7 5/8
$65, shipped via Priority Mail in the Cont. US
A nice stingy from the '60s. I love the SPACEWEIGHT name, and the liner is really beautiful. This hat also features a cool, one-way bow. Despite the name, I would call this a medium weight felt. True 7 5/8 long oval (I did the long ovalizing... it was not sold that way). Sharp overwelt brim.
INNER CIRCUMFERENCE- 24"
BRIM- 1 3/4"
CROWN- 4 1/4"
RIBBON- 1 1/2"
BORSALINO FELT FEDORA- Light Beige, 7 5/8
$80, shipped via Priority Mail in the Cont. US
Another nice stingy, likely from the '60s. A slightly lighter felt on this one, and a very nice, light summer color. The brim is soft, but snaps well. Felt is very clean. When I got this hat, I sent it out to Hatman Jack's in Wichita for a cleaning and new sweat. Thus, this hat does not feature the original Borsalino sweat band. It does have, however, a very nice, professionally installed sweat. It also has the original, slightly worn, liner. Fits like a slightly snug 7 5/8 long oval.
INNER CIRCUMFERENCE- 23 3/4"
BRIM- 2"
CROWN- 4"
RIBBON- 3/8"
RESISTOL WESTERN- Brown, 7 1/2 Long Oval
$60, shipped via Priority Mail in the Cont. US
Heavy Western, with leather braided band and horse pin. I stretched this one a little when I got it, so it fits like a slightly snug 7 5/8 long oval. Heavy brown felt. Stiff, but not stiff like modern Western hats. I would guess it comes from the '70s, but I am not a Western expert. It sports the "Self-Conforming" log on the sweat band and the liner.
INNER CIRCUMFERENCE- 23 3/4"
BRIM- 3 1/4"
CROWN- 5"
"RIBBON"- 1"
