Finally, just arrived yesterday, my first vintage hat and also my first fur felt. Pardon other loungers who might have bid on this one, but this is my first purchase bidding a vintage. It's 7 3/8, 2 1/4" brim, crown is about 4 1/2 but I don't know when I wear it I feel it's quite tall... or maybe just my feeling. Not sure how the right bash should be, since it came in rather disfigured crown. But it's very light, supple, easily formed, and boy, indeed, fur is much smoother than wool.... The stitching is very neat, much better indeed than my modern hat. The brim is rather stiff but it's snap brim, so no problem... I won it at USD 31, but actually I had to pay 64 including shipping to my country.
Sorry for the camera, I don't have good one - it's only from mobile. The color is pure black. I'm still unsure about the most appropriate bash for this hat - any idea?
The lining is quite stained, I wonder if it can be cleaned? I look inside the sweatband, the lining is actually only attached by some tape here and there - so the previous owner might have removed it for cleaning... Any idea how to clean it? I eventually have to do the cleaning myself, no hatter in Indonesia
Here's the inside - there's also initial "PH" stamped on sweatband
And finally here's my ugly head covered with it what do you think? I feel like a priest ... makes me wonder whether it was indeed a priest's hat.. (Father Merrin of Exorcist?)
