Lawman's plea was simple. Somebody buy this hat and keep me out of divorce court!
Well, strictly in the spirit of supporting the institution of marriage, and not at all because I love vintage Dobbs hats and my favorite color all my life has been green, I stepped up. Here it is:
The felt is wonderfully soft to the touch, with a slight nap. The liner logo is different from my other Dobbs hats, I get the impression it's older than they are, perhaps 1930s?
The slanted "Dobbs" name on the sweatband, however, seems later. Perhaps the sweat was replaced?
It was advertised as a 7-1/2 and it fits like one, but the sticker inside says 7-5/8. I guess it shrunk a bit since a true 7-5/8 is way too big for me.
Brim width is 2-1/2" with a Cav edge, and the crown measures around 5-1/2" with the center dent bash.
Sorry if someone else was trying to get it, but I couldn't resist. After all, as the great Montgomery Scott said, "It's green!"

And it's great that we have such caring people in the Lounge, willing to make such sacrifices for our fellow Loungers!
