Hello Everyone,
This is an interesting hat. Its a vita-felt which has a great smooth texture and its finished very nicely. This hat would make a great "beater" or a project for a new sweatband. It appears that sometime in this hats lifetime, the sweatband was trimmed to be less wide and a corrugated section was stitched into the front of the sweatband (probably by the dry cleaners, see pictures). Its very similar to what Borsalino uses. Its a very comfortable 7 and the sweatband measures from 22 - 22 1/8 inches in circumference. Its main flaw is that there is a good amount of moth tracks on the hat. There are no moth holes, or moth divots, just some tracks (See pictures). It really doesn't effect the overall look of the hat. Its a beautiful grey/blue color with a very thin ribbon. This hat has obviously seem some use in its lifetime, but like I said, it would make a great hat to wear around the house, for doing lawn work, tossing on with a pair of jeans, or whatever you can think of where you wouldn't have to worry about tossing it around.
Brim: 2 5/8 inches wide
Open Crown: 5 1/2 inches tall
I'm asking $50 shipped to anywhere in the CONUS
