That's just an awesome hat. I'm on a desperate Hunt for a 40s Cavanagh myself in 7 1/2. Your's is in fantastic condition Sir!

Greetings RW:
Super, super hat. Pristine liner. So nice.
Be well. Bowen

 

[Rockwater]

Thank you all. The hand and the liner are the best I have experienced. When I saw it hanging out of reach, I thought the color isn’t for me, but maybe it will be alright with a thin ribbon.
When it came down from the wall, the liner hit me like a bolt lightning. And I knew nothing can be done but admire and put it on from time to time

Now this was a club I wanted to be a member of, but that's hard to do if you live in Europa. Basically: Cavanagh hats did not make it across the pond. They were never made under license in Europa and I haven't been able to find any evidence they were imported and sold here. Only thing left to do is throw a line out in the bay and see what somes up. This one did and I was kind of surprised I was able to get it at the low price it went for. It may have had something to do with the fact that it was listed as a bowler. It's not.
Cavanagh in brown, size 7 with the brim a touch under 7cm and the crown at 11,5cm at the pinch. Like new condition and the positive reviews these hat get here are well deserved; this is a very fine hat. From what I've been reading this one can be dated to 1952 or 1953. It came with a box, but that stayed behind in Oregon, because shipping it over seems to require more money that sending over a live kidney.
I have that great feeling again that I could be the only one in the country owning one of these.

Thanks, gentlemen! I've been reading about Cavanagh hats here on the lounge for some time now and the more I read, the more I wanted one. It is indeed awesome. I'll see if I can do a comparison with the Stetson Imperial and Stetson Sovereign I have soon.

Fantastic! I have the exact same hat, but in my size. Reddish brown (although not in the picture due to the fluorescent lights), with a 2" ribbon and a frayed bow.

I just reblocked mine and pushed a diamond into it. Gave it a new lease on life for me.

Again, congrats on your score. This is a great hat.
