See the little medallion affixed to the bow on the side? It's a modern Stetson. Not certain what, though.

it looks like a factory crease so I would guess a Lamont maybe in taupe with the brim snapped up
looks like a Lamont bow and proportions

tough to be completely sure from these pics

Shrink the sweat with water and dry over a lamp.

strategically placed reduction tape works great

I think that's too many sizes to ask for that method. The I'm 7 1/4 as well as you, moonie, and mike. I'd sell it to Jack or Charlie and get something in my size.

Isn't that asking a lot...to reduce a 7 5/8 down 3 sizes?

 

[miket5r]

I think it is very difficult. Or is it better to bring the hat to a hat maker?

Yer absolutely correct. It is too much. Thought it was 7 3/8.

If it is truly a nice vintage hat, there are plenty of larger noggin folks that would kill for it. Take some good photos of the hat, including the liner and sweat logos and put it out to your fellow loungers in the classified section. These folks have such a hard time finding larger sizes, it would be a shame not to throw a bone their way.

Yeah, what Red said.

@WJB, The Raleigh seemed to have a close relationship with the Knox brand and HCA. This example 2-3 decades before yours.

Oh, sure, friend! Sell it to them without giving me fair a shot at it. I see how you are!

Yeah that's far too much
I read it as 3/8 for some reason
There is no shrinking that far realistically

It is possible but it will not be very comfortable to wear...

Even with tape or foam spacers you won't be happy with the results.

And you forgot to mention that you're a 7 5/8, right?
