Churchill Beaver "50" fedora size 7 3/8 thin ribbon

[deadlyhandsome]

I have reason to believe that this 7 3/8 hat runs on the small side and is closer to 7 1/4.

The hat can use a good cleaning and a new ribbon. No moth damage and the sweat is soft and supple. Thin dense felt.

It comes in a non-original cardboard hat box.

Any idea on the timeframe when this was made?

Sorry, I have no idea.

Looks like a 1960s vintage based on what little I know. Churchill was Resistol's high end brand for a time. Neiman Marcus sold quite a few of them from what I understand.

Looks like it'll fit 7 1/4 or small 7 3/8 . Great looking Hat .

Wow this is a super nice hat, something a bit rare as you do not see many Churchill hats that are thin ribbon and that clean as far as no moth bites

The felt on this is incredible. I was supremely disappointed when I opened my 7 3/4 hat and found it was a 7 3/8. The seller made an honest mistake.

Now I just need to get some of the 20 people watching the hat on eBay to start bidding.

If it was a 7 1/4 it would have never made it to eBay.

The sweat dimensions so it fits 7 1/4 , or a small 7 3/8 , but its not a full 7 3/8 now , it shrunk . I have 2-3 7 1/2 Hats that fit perfectly on my 7 3/8 head . Those interior sweat dimensions don't lie . We all should know what our best dimensions are . I don't know why I thought you were 7 1/8 Bill , but this is a really nice OR Style raw edge Hat for somebody .

Yes I sure know what you mean about the bidding on ebay...lol! I bet that felt feels like creamy butter. Most of the time you only find that feel with a good vintage felt. We've had a few like that here. Bummer it was not your size.

I’m actually between a 7 1/8 and 7 1/4. I can usually give a 1/8 a stretch or a 1/4 a shim. Anything over 1/4 I have to shim too much.
