As the title says, these fedoras are from the vaults. I've picked them up along the way to learn from and to photograph with heads under them at family gatherings. All prices are shipped to CONUS.

Thanks for provoking me to post these, @MatthewPace!

First up: Dobbs, 6-7/8 in good condition. Asking $45

And, since a great hat man once said that one can never own too many Borsas, @steur, here is a circa 1950s Borsalino Trionfo in a taupe size 7. This one has been worn some, but it's a very nice hat. Asking $55.

Now this one is an eyecatcher for sure. A very fine looking borsalino. Only thing I see wrong with it is the reed sticking through in the back. How wide is that brim, Charlie?

Hi, Stefan, and apologies for the delay. Not certain, but I suspect the sweatband may not be original to the hat. There is no Borsalino designation. This was certainly a hat that someone cared for. Whether or not it requires replacement depends on the wearer. I think it is definitely wearable as is, but as you noted, the sweatband isn't perfect.

The brim measures a non-dimensional 5.4 cm, or 2-1/8", and the felt is beautiful, no moth bites, stains, etc.
