This was an Ebay purchase that I received just today. It doesn't fit me, so I am putting it up for sale immediately (so I can continue my quest for the perfect lid on OFAS!).
Brand seems to be a proprietary house brand: "Hurley," made expressly for Davidson's Men's Wear in Cleveland. The box (which is in terrible shape) says Bond - and probably is not a match for the hat. Maybe someone on the Lounge knows more about the store and/or brand and can offer a comment.
About the hat: check out the photos. This is a nice looking lid (which is why I bid on it in the first place!). It arrived very clean and in good shape. There is a slight smudge of dirt on the front on the brim, and some inconsipicuous spots of slight fading on the ribbon (visible in the side view), and a hint of minor surface abrasion (maybe moth nibbling?) along the ridge of the crown. But there are no dibbles or holes anywhere. The liner and sweatband are very clean. But it probably could use a cleaning and blocking.
Dimensions:
Size - 7 1/4 (maybe slightly tight for the nominal size)
Open crown - 5 1/2",
Brim -2 5/8" with 3/8" binding
Ribbon - 1 3/8" wide
PRICE: $40 shipped in the USA
send a PM or email if you are interested.
