FS: Size 7 5/8 LO Blue/Grey Vintage Stetson 3x open road

[casechopper]

I bought this a little over a year ago and it has become a closet queen. I don't feel comfortable wearing it due to it being so nice and being worth so much. I'm not a collector so this is now up for sale. I've only worn it about a half dozen times and I'd guess from the condition of the hat that it was only worn a handful of times (if that!) before I received it. The hat has no pinch. It came that way and it looked so nice as is I didn't want to mess with it.

When I bought this it came with an original, oval shaped Stetson box and this will be included with the hat.

There are a couple of small, very light, discolored spots on the top front of the brim. These are very hard to see and you may not be able to see them in any of the photos posted. I'll see if I can get a closeup shot later this evening to show these. They are not visible unless you are looking for them.

Measurements:
I believe this has a 2 7/8" brim and the crown is probably 5 1/2 to 6" in height. I'll get more exact measurements tonight when I have the hat in front of me.

Price: $400 shipped to the lower 48 USA. I will ship internationally but you'll need to contact me for an estimate on shipping. I will discount international shipping by the amount it would cost me to ship this to California.

Plus 1. That's a museum hat for sure. Very nice lid indeed!

casechopper, beautiful hat! How would you describe the fit on that one? Does it feel like a true 7 5/8?

 

[casechopper]

Hi Landman. If fits like a 7 5/8 Lo should.

Measurements:
Crown inside front to back: 8 1/2"
Crown inside side to side: 6 5/8"
Circumference (from ellipse calculator): 23.85" Which is a size 7 5/8.
Crown height open (at highest point): ~5 3/4"
Brim width: 3"

Notes from looking at it now:
There is a faint lighter line in the felt on the outside of the crown. It's about at the height that the sweatband ends on the inside. This photo shows it best:

Here is a photo showing the very slight smudging on the top of the brim in front. I had a hard time even finding it to take this photo. Look towards the righthand side of the photo

You should keep this one and wear it. It looks great on you.

 

[casechopper]

Thanks Alan,
I like the way it looks but feel more comfortable wearing lower end hats due to not wanting to damage a hat as nice as this.

Price drop to $340 shipped.

 

[casechopper]

Now on ebay with a starting bid of $340. If anyone on the lounge is interested at $325 shipped let me know before any bids are made and I'll sell it to you and cancel the listing.

 

[casechopper]

Still on ebay. You can get it directly outside of ebay if you contact me before anyone bids on the ebay auction for $300 shipped.

Very nice hat CC. Hats are made to be worn brother so if it's the money I understand. Looks good on you.
