Just won it on eBay. Okay, it isn't new, except to me, and it looks like it can use a lot of work, possibly including a new sweatband and liner. A roll of the dice, but I am being hoping it will turn out to be a great hat in the end. Plus, it is a 7 1/2. A note for any who read the eBay listing carefully--Cutoff, LA is where Katrina came ashore--hope this hat isn't storm-damaged:eek: ! Here's the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...40010380409&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWA:IT&rd=1

Stunning! You did good. Looks as if it might be really early vintage. Hard to say whether that sweat needs replacing -- it might be just fine.

Nice job Cruiser. Even if the sweat needs to be replaced at the very least you have a great hat in a great color.

Cut Off got some wind and rain from Katrina, but that's all. One day and it was over with there.

Fantastic! Thanks for letting me know, RedPop4. The stuff I found on Google made it seem like the whole place was flattened. Eases my mind a bit.
