Hi there,
I am offering up for trade or sale a vintage Adam 5th Avenue fedora. It is a size 6 7/8 (with an estimated 21 7/8" circumference) and a light grey in color.
I purchased this hat off of ebay about a month ago, foolishly thinking that it might barely fit me; sadly though, I have determined that it is just a bit too small. (the smallest size I seem to be able to wear is a 7)
Overall, the hat is in fantastic shape. The felt is very sturdy and clean (no moth holes, stains, etc). The only downside to this hat is the sweatband. The stitching is starting to come loose from the hat in the back, and the sticking attaching the two sides of the band together at the very back (under the little bow) is also coming apart. (see the picture below) As long as the wearer is gentle, I do not believe the band would cause a problem, or the band could just be replaced.
I would like to arrange a trade with someone who has another Adam (or other vintage fedora brand) of similar value of preferrable size 7 1/8. However, I will also accept individual offers on this hat as well. I will package it carefully once a deal is made.
I am including several photos of the hat here. Please PM me with any questions or offers. Thanks!
