SOLD: Portis Supreme, 7 3/8 or so...

[feltfan]

This gray Portis Supreme fits tightly on my 7 1/2 LO head. I think it
would be fine for a 7 1/2 regular oval or possibly even a 7 3/8 head.
Roughly 23" around. Brim is 2 1/2" or just shy of that.

This is a relatively tough, stiff, heavy hat- well built in every respect.
I'm guessing it's from the 1950s.

There is some light mothing on the crown, all within about a half
inch of the ribbon. I bet you could brush and work it so the mothing
disappears (the felt is much thicker and tougher than the mild mothing).
I can try to take pix of the mothing if someone is serious.

There are a couple of very small stains inside the liner and the green
in the logo has spread for some reason (wrong ink used?), but is not
transferring.

So I'm not saying it's perfect, but I suspect no one will notice
any of that. I also suspect this hat is so well made it'll outlast
most hats. BTW, the white spot at the bottom of the brim barely
visible in this picture is part of the felt.

$60 plus $12 Parcel Post CONUS.

I'm a bit strapped, would you take payments?

 

[feltfan]

I might, but there's one person ahead of you.
If he doesn't take it, let's talk.

If he doesn't take it, I'll post some detailed pictures
of the mothing, just so everything is clear. But I do
think the mothing is no big deal on this particular lid.

Mothing

Okay, here are the pix of the moth bites.

The next picture ain't great, but you can kinda
see the horizontal line of dots, extending from the
ruler. Another above and to the right of the bow.

Slightly out of focus, on left:

Top, center of crown (above "14 3/4"):

Just above "14":

As you can see (or not!) tiny and shallow, but there are a few.

I'll take it if its still available.
