1950s English "Lock & Co." Fedora, GOODBYE!

[Marc Chevalier]

A last hurrah here before it goes to eBay this Sunday evening. My eBay seller i.d.: crosby_square

1950s English "Lock & Co." fedora. A rich, dark chocolate brown. I've never seen a felt like this before: medium weight, very smooth and dense -- and as tight as a drum. I literally bounced a dime off of the crown. Condition is excellent, looks mint. U.S. size: 7 3/8. (British size: 7 1/4.)

You're getting warmer. Still too small though.

Well, there you go man. Take out a bank loan and its yours. I give pretty good terms but the interest is compounded daily.

Wait, no it isn't.

Say, Marc! This morning that bad boy was a US 7 1/2! You shrunk it???

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Its British size is 7 1/4.

Its U.S. size is 7 3/8.


You're thinking of the "Scott & Co." fedora. That's a separate thread. The "Scott" fedora is a U.S. size 7 1/2. Your size!

Where is the front shot?

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Here is the front shot. I'm not too happy with the way the photo turned out -- the hat looks a lot better than that. I think I'll reshoot it.

Or maybe I'll reshoot it...



Thanks again, Marc!
