My first vintage hat

[Qwkslvr]

I just won this hat on e-bay:
Vintage 1940s STETSON Royal De Luxe Fedora Hat - 7 3/8



Circa 1940's, this beautiful vintage hat by John B. Stetson is the Royal DeLuxe St. Regis style. It is in great condition and features a high crown, grosgrain ribbon band, rolled brim and satin lining. There is foxing & a couple of small tears to the satin and the grosgrain ribbon has a crease that could easily be steamed out, otherwise in excellent condition and sure to please. Its classic styling and premium quality makes Stetson, "THE" hat to own and wear. Please contact us with any inquiries.



* Tag size: 3/8 (I'm guessing 7 3/8"?)
* Inside circumference: 22 3/4"
* Crown: 5"
* Grosgrain Band: 1.75"
* Rolled Brim: 2"
* Brand: John B. Stetson
* Style: Royal DeLuxe St. Regis
* Color: Black
* Condition: very good/excellent
I blame you people for this, I was happy with new hats until I joined this forum

I also am looking forward to pics of the hat. As soon as I receive it, I'll take pics for posting, and then it'll be down to the "Greeley Hat Works" for repairs. They are only about fifty miles north of where I live and have heard good things about them here at the FL.
