Wow. First Custom V I've ever seen. Cool hat.
I sold one a year or so ago. Several (of various styles) have been posted over the years. A site search will turn up a few of them.

I don't think I'd buy one (brim is too short for me), but it was ice to see one, anyway.

I know what you mean. I can go 3" down to 2 3/8"... shorter than that & it's into the 'bay.
They are not all the same. Some CVs have one ribbon, some another. Some have bound edges, some don't. Some have brims of one width, some of another, and so on.
Now that is odd.
I recently found a hat on the side of the highway.
I noticed there are a few hats on ebay right now that could be worked into really nice Fedora's. That one is nice, would look great!Goodwill score that I intend to fedorafy, a Resistol "Futurity":
Rick, I noticed some "foxing" in the liner - how do you go about removing them?
Isn't that a sign of mildew?
Nice score, Rick. You beat me to it by mere minutes. If it's too big for you, I'm your man! (I'm right in between 7 3/8 and 7 1/2.)
