Hey everybody,
I picked up this Cavanagh on the 'bay a while back, and only now did I find the time to snap a few pictures and post it.
It is my first Cavanagh fedora, as well as being my first definately stingy brim fedora. The money spent on it was money well spent in my opinion, the felt is extremely soft to the touch, and could probably be easily hand bashed to a different style if the owner so desired.
One of the reasons I considered picking up a Cavanagh hat is because of something inherent in them called the 'Cavanagh edge' despite the fact I love this hat, I really don't have too much of an idea of what a Cavanagh edge is, if anyone would fill me in, it would be greatly appreciated.
The hat box, decidedly a bit fancier than the standard Resistol or Dobbs fair, when I first saw it, I thought to myself "...now there is a hat that was considered a step up in the world!" <br>
<br><br>
The liner was in fantastic shape for the hat's age, showing it to have been barely worn at all, a few little spots here and there, but nothing cleaning couldn't probably fix.<br>

Overall, I was very much pleased with my purchase, the seller stated in the auction that "...a similar hat today would be in the $300-$400 range..." that might be laying it on a little thick, but it is still a swell hat!
