Richman Bros 7 1/2 Brown Fedora on eBay

[Bob Beecher]

I got a hat on eBay recently that turned out to be the wrong size. So, I decided to list it myself and hopefully attract a wider audience.

It's a dark brown Richman Bros Co. fedora, probably from the 1950s. It's really a chocolate brown, much nicer than the way the photo came out. The size is 7 1/2. It has its original box and the hat has a wind cord, too. No damage or staining to the hat--just a bit of dust.

I put in a bid!

Did you buy it thinking it was something other than 7 1/2?

Is it a true 7 1/2?

Yes, believe it or not, the original seller advertised it as a size 8. Well, I'm a size 8 and I found out about the listing close to the end, so I just bid and won. Afterward, I found out otherwise.

I measured it a couple of times and it comes out to about 23 inches around the sweatband. That might be a tad short, but I don't have a proper tape measure, either.

Thanks Bob.
