Good conditon 1940s/1950s 'Westward', Dobbs answer to the Stetson 'Open Road'.
Very attractive proportions on this hat: no crown taper from both the front view and the profile view. This hat has a nice tall, straight-sided crown.
In good condition with a couple minor discolorations on the brim (see pics). Very difficult to see. The felt is a tad stiff with plenty of life left in it. The brim still has a pronounced 'snap' to it. Comes with original feather.
The inside is clean with slight staining on the liner (see pics). The sweatband is in very good condition: soft and pliable.
crown: 5" bashed
brim: 2 6/8"
size: 7 1/8
The ribbon is not discolored, the odd appearance of it in this photo is just a camera distortion:
Note the lack of taper:
