Sure fits me better than how it fit Dinerman: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=17021&page=2
The hat is just a tad big, and the sweat band, although it looks ok, is very thin and frail, and has come detatched. I'm gonna have the sweat band replaced and "thickened" to give a bit more snug of a fit.
As reported, the hat body is in good shape...can use a bit of cleaning but the binding is in remarkably good shape for its age.
Lastly, lets here from you out there about the brim. I think that when I have it refurbed I'll keep it as a homburg...waddya think??
