Couldn't let this lie at an estate sale this afternoon. Too large for me, but surely one of you gents with substantial melons will want to give it a home:
Old, dusty, moth-bitten Adam Long Premier. It's HUGE!!!! Size 7 1/2!
After a bit of a brush and a pass through the steamer it looked like this:
5 1/2" crown, 2 3/4" bound brim, 5/8" binding, 1 3/4" unreeded sweat. Sweat's in perfect shape, still firmly attached to the hat. Several moth bites, with the largest crater right on the front of the brim on the top side. (Wouldn't you know!) Felt's soft and malleable.
Anyway, it's a grand old hat that needed to escape that tool shed where it's languished for who knows how may decades. I'll put it in the Classifieds for adoption.
