Too very fine, my friend.
What "model" or style is this beauty?

Thanks!

It's the "Adventure."

 

[Nigel]

Some nice looking hats there guys.

 

[Dinerman]

I left the original bash in, so it looks a lot more tapered than it actually is. It has a deep center crease, and pinches both fore and aft.

Can a Marathon join in the fun

Since Lee made these for Penneys I'm going to throw it in here. This is an unworn Penneys Marathon. It has the tri-color treatment like the Lee Trinity. The felt, ribbon, and brim binding are all different complementary colors. This one still has a plethora of tags on it including the original $7.90 price tag. Also has a hidden stitch sweatband. The felt on this one is very nice quality. The main felt color looks olive in these pics but its really more of a tan/taupe with a hint of green.

Measurements
brim = 2 3/4
ribbon = 1 7/16
sweat = 1 3/4
crown = 5 1/4
brim binding = 3/8

Lee Trinity

 

[PabloElFlamenco]

¡Hey, I got one too! A Lee "Fifth Avenue"; bought it on the American bay most of a year ago, it's a rather heavy and thick long-hair hat, definitely winter seasonal, with what I believe to be "old fashioned Fedora" elements, in fact alleged to be from the very late forties (probably fifties, but who knows, I'm a bit puzzled by the more sixties marketing things like -if I'm not mistaken, the hat's at home- a "Dupont" label?).

Don't mess with me! (huff, huff..lol )

Was the Lee Trinity supposed to be Lee's Whippet clone? There is something whippetesque about it for sure.
