FOR SALE - RARE 1940's Biltmore Sky Rider Fedora SZ 6 7/8 (Small 7)

[Joshbru3]

Well, its that time of year again when I get rid of a few hats that don't get much head time. I need to make room for some hats on the way.

For sale is an absolutely GORGEOUS and rare hat. Vintage Biltmore's are very hard to come by and this is the first Sky Rider I have seen on the lounge. Its labeled size 6 7/8, but will also fit a smaller size 7. I measure 21 7/8 around the inside of the sweatband and since the sweatband is removable because its a Carter, this hat can take a slight stretch. The felt is very nice and the sweatband is still pliable and clean. The hat even still has the original tags on it. I bought this from someone in Canada, so its only been in the States for a short time.

I'm asking $85 Shipped to anywhere in the CONUS.

Brim width? Is the ribbon really a dark blue? And is the felt a gray with a bluish tinge to it?

 

[Joshbru3]

The ribbon is navy blue and when light hits it becomes much blue-er. The felt is a blue-ish gray. I'm not at home right now, so I can't measure exactly right this second, but I am positive that the brim isn't less than 2 1/2 and no more than 2 3/4.

Man, I love this hat. If it were in my budget I'd be sending you more of my money this instant. Don't suppose you'd care to make a trade on it?

Just measured the brim, its 2 1/2 inches wide

This is going to ebay tomorrow if there are no takers here, I just wanted to give loungers first dibs at it.
