Mine too...
I know I've seen this type of tag many times before.

This was sold to me as a Dobbs (it came in a Dobbs box); however, it appears to be a jobber hat of unknown manufacturer.

And with a quick dry crease:

Does anyone recognize the labeling/branding?

Ok I was mistaken. The size tag I was thinking of was on a hat that is now in the possession of another lounger. The professor identified it as a MacLaughlin.

Good get, Bob!

And props to Jay.

Looks great on you, Bob! I loved the finish on that felt during the brief time I handled it. A little bath, as you say, and it will look even better. Nice find!

Great looking hat in a hard to find size. Great find.

Nice color combination. Look forward to the specs & more pics!

Wish I looked that good when I needed a bath.:p

Thanks everyone! I hope to give it a gas bath this weekend and I'll take better pics and report the dimensions. I just couldn't wait to wear it. :)

Your new BEST lid, Brent. Yup, sometimes the mistakes are made in our favor! I came upon a couple that way, a Cavanagh, a Dobbs 20, and a no-name that reeks of Cavanagh quality.

Now it's your turn. Mazel tov, my friend!!

Greetings Deadly et al:
Very nice hat no matter the maker Deadly. BUT if it’s a “MacLachlan” instead of (MacLaughlin),
you got a double diamond deal!! Pics of labels behind sweat??
Be well. Bowen
PS: so as not to confuse. This reply is in reference to Deadly’s “mystery Dobbs” previous post, subsequent discussion and not of the above pictured hat/sz label ref. B
