Hey all you fellow loungers,

It's been a little while since I've posted a new item, mostly because I need to save a bit now. But I found a bargain on OFAS that I couldn't pass up.

It was just listed as a Dobbs black hat in my size, with little information and a single blurry picture. However, I could make out a wind trolley button on it and decided to take a pig in a poke.

When I got it, it really paid off. Turns out I got a minty Dobbs 20. I had always wanted a fedora with a numerical amount on it, and it was just my dumb luck I happened upon it for 9 bucks less than the original selling price.

If anyone can help me date it, I would certainly appreciate it. It seems like it was never worn at all!







Of course, one can't tell how a hat is until they really put it on themselves.



Yep. This Dobbs is going to stick around for a long time. :D

Dobbs are some of my favorite hats. I'd say it's late 1950s, going by the style, the brown sweatband and the general look of quality. From what I've been able to gather, they went to a black sweatband sometime in the 1960s.

Really nice lid!
