Ha! You sent a message to the seller.

How small was it?

I decided not to bid as it's identical to my Knox Tom 'n' Jerry.

How small was it?

About a U.S. size 7, perhaps a bit smaller.

7 5/8 Resistol fedora. Too big for me, but it looks like a winner.

I'm sure it's a beautiful hat. Roberto and Jula only sell quality items, and they're great people as well. I bought a suit from them a few years ago. It was worth every penny.

I got it. Turned out there was a size label inside: a British size 7, or U.S. size 7 1/8. I've stretched it to a U.S. size 7 1/4.

It's very dingy: the original color was a light heathery grey with beige accents, believe it or not. I'll soak it in naphtha soon. Photos can be seen in the "Show Us Your New Hats" thread.
