**SOLD** 1930's? Emerson Black Long Hair 22.5" 7 1/8

I posted this in the 'long-hair' thread earlier today, hoping to give it a 1/4" stretch and wear this Winter. The stitching (direct to felt) looked great, but when I was Lexol'ing the attachment area, my fingers pushed a couple of areas through - busted the threads. So...no stretching.

It's a large 7 1/8 - almost 22.5", and a wonderful hat with absolutely no issues other than two areas where the sweatband is now separated.

Given it's not stretchable, I won't be able to wear it - I'm looking for a good trade for a slightly larger hat - around 22.75" (7 1/4 + 1/16), but larger works as well. I'm looking for a non-stingy vintage hat.

I'm guessing this is early '40s, late '30s? It has a huge Union tag - an inch or more square. That 'Hamberger' store tag is actually stapled on (you can see staples in last pic).

I would like something of similar quality, and an older hat - just a traditional wide-brim felt fedora. I have experimented with styles as much as anyone, but value needs to be similar on this one.

If you are interested in trading, let me know what you have.
