FA: c. 1960 Pre Reunification East German Fur Felt Fedora

[Rick Blaine]

I've been on the fence on this one for a long while. Sold to me as a 59...measurement failure, it's a 58. I thought about putting it on the stretcher, but decided against it, not wanting to inflict any damage because it is near perfect and very lightly worn. A special occasion lid maybe, it's in very good to excellent vintage condition & it should go to someone, here on the FL, who will appreciate it for what it is and that will wear it, as it is, eh?

It is VERY NICE, very soft and well made felt, sewn in liner, 'shoe string' laced through the sweat in back, like my vintage Borsos, this was not a cheap hat. Unique in every way, to my experience.

$125 includes US shipping, insurance & tracking. :cry: PayPal only.

PM me if this blows yer skirt up.
