My first vintage hat

Well, not technically my first, but my first that fits me properly and that I'll wear on a pretty regular basis.

It's got moth bites up the wazoo (one even all the way through the felt, near the ribbon) but it's exactly what I was looking for. A nice beater for a good price.

And since I always like the "I got a new hat" threads with pictures, here's some I just went and took:

That's kinda cool, Dav3. It's good to have a few less-than-pristine vintage lids to wear in the rough weather. So it has a few moth divots. BFD, eh? And it's a genuine Disney, and everybody oughta have at least one of those.
As to its vintage: I doubt it's as old as the seller suggested it is. I'm thinking more like late 1950s or early '60s. But I could be wrong about that.

Yeah, I saw the "30's" thing, but I figured 50's-60's as well because of the back bow and black sweat. S'fine with me.
