Art makes a mean Playboy:
I would love a vintage piece too. I have a 60's Playboy waiting to be renovated when I have the cash but a pre war one would be a "Grail" hat for sure.
Between the possibilities of a vintage hat having slightly shrunk and the ease of padding the sweat, I'd say you'll probably end up alright. Caveat emptor, of course.

Well, I'm guessing this is a vintage lid, unless Hatco has been holding out on us....
Grey, Silverbelly, and Black Cherry are Art's most versatile colors, IMHO. The first two moreso than the latter, but BC is a dark horse (no pun) in the versatility category.
Underwelts are a passable substitute for a Cavanagh edge as well. I quite like underwelts, though if push came to shove, I might have slightly more affection for a bound ege. Still, I made sure to have some underwelts in my collection.
