It looks true vintage and is claimed to be handmade.

1920's/'30s cap I had been meaning to post. It's in really worn out shape unfortunately and my local hat shop said it's too delicate to clean. In the meantime I'm holding onto it for reference.
If I had the money to spend I'd probably buy it myself. Stretching it to a 7 seems a little too much but I'd rather have it for display, in reality it's a rare example of a dated fedora, and a blue one at that! It would've a perfect addition to the Museum of the City of New York's exhibit on...
Rare hat indeed. It really deserves a home in a museum in my opinion.

This one's a real beauty! Very nice detail and color!

I question the date because the style of the jacket is very '60s. (no lapel buttonholes and high button stance)

I'd highly recommend a great piece of NYC history, The New York Transit museum, located in Downtown Brooklyn. A very short subway ride from Manhattan.
