VERY NICE Mike! I have always wanted one of those, but in my size.....well, It may be a while yet.
I WILL say I have an a 40's Twenty AND a Twenty-Five (also 40's) both in the "Westward" style. The felt in those is magnificent. (Not sure If I ever posted either here though, I may need to get them out for a photo op). ;)
Thank you! This is my 5th Dobbs Forty I have and this might be my favorite color. I love all brands of Fortys.

About 1950 or so Dobbs Forty, with 2 3/4 inch Cavanagh type Guild Edge brim and 5 7/8 inch open crown. There's 2 mfg tags, one is a 40's tag and the other was first used in the late 30's and resurfaced in the early 50's.

Wow, those are beautiful. I have 2 Dobbs Twenty's and I absolutely love the felt on them. I can't imagine what the Forty's must feel like. Congrats on some gorgeous hats!
