I have this beautiful Strat -- I believe from the 1950s. Wonderful soft felt. Not NOS but very, very little wear. Still has $10 price tag. Small verdigris spot top and bottom at rear of brim. Wind trolley!

I find the 2 3/4" brim too wide and would prefer 2 1/2".

Hoping to trade this for another gray (or dark gray or green gray) vintage Strat size 7 1/8 with a 2 1/2" brim in comparable condition.

Also open to other trades of classic fedoras (Stetson, Borsalino, Knox, etc.) size 7 1/8 with medium brim (around 2 3/8" or 2 1/2"). Grey, charcoal and tan/taupe favorite colors.

Measurements:

Size: 7 1/8 Long Oval -- feels a little larger than typical 7 1/8
Brim: 2 3/4"
Open crown: 5 1/2"
Pinch as bashed: 4 1/8"
Ribbon: 3/8"

DM if interested. Feel free to ask questions.

Thanks!

David

I was wrong. I’ve sold all but one felt with shorter brims (under 2 3/4”). Just wanted to make sure everyone knows it’s still up for grabs.

Thanks to the members who have reached out. I think I’m going to keep the strat for now—at least until I find one with a 2 1/2 brim. I’m also kind of getting used to the 2 3/4. As I’ve seen @belfastboy post before, the more you wear wider brims the more you adjust to them.
