The color is a dark charcoal, not quite black. The felt is amazing, thin and light, can be creased by a breath. Crown is about 5 1/4 inches, brim is 2 inches. 80.4 tiny little grams. Very well made.
This one gives me a 30's vibe. Any opinions in agreement or otherwise welcome.
This one is too big for me, so it will soon be put up for vintage trade *psst Daniele! *

This was the same one from ShopGW this past week correct? Would be crazy to see two pop up in the same time frame. But it does tend to happen that way after not seeing any for years. Very happy to see it turn up here after I got into something and forgot to bid. And glad we didn’t end up bidding each other up considering we were probably the only two looking at it that knew what it was Too bad it is too big for you… so clearly it is WAY too big for me.

Thanks Joe!
Yes, it is the same one. I had no idea of the size, but I figured that the best time to bid on a Vimenet was when I saw one. The 8 days waiting for the auction to end were excruciating...
Looks like ""Dad lost out big time!
