This beautiful brown Resistol Beaver 15 is in like new condition. Except from some mild staining in the lining, it looks as though it's never been worn, complete with the Resistol brochure still glued inside the band with instructions for caring for your hat. The hat is a nice rich chocolate brown the ribbon matches, it looks a little purple in the photos, but it's actually quite brown. The Kitten Finish felt is very soft and pliable. It will take any shape of dry bash with ease, no steam needed, but it's photographed creased as I found it.

Fit:
Sized 7 3/8, it measures 23" in circumference.
Crown 5 3/4"
Brim 2 5/8"

Price dropped to $140, which I think is a steal for a 1950s vintage hat in this popular size, this close to like new condition. You will really be hard pressed to ever find another like it.

Ooh. Really want it, but I'm just too big for it - I've always worn 7 1/2, and after remeasuring just a moment ago, 23.5" is the smallest I could comfortably wear...plus I'm short on cash anyway. She's absolutely beautiful though.
