Actually my second. I bought a Montecristi a while back, but this is my first cloth hat. $20 off craigslist, it's a Dobbs 5th Avenue Forty. The fellow said his father and someone before him bought it in the 1950's or earlier and wore it a few times on stage for a burlesque show.
A sticker on the box reads: "1959 Panama" and obviously it's not a Panama.
The hat is in excellent condition with the exception of four pinhead size moth nibbles on the right side of the crown. I'd appreciate any and all feedback and input.
