I did not buy this one but thought it was somewhat interesting. It is some sort of synthetic material.

Dobbs Gamebird Long Hair Circa 30s

Short of a little soiling on the liner this Gamebird is in great shape. I'm guessing it is circa 30s. The size tag behind the sweat is torn in half so I don't know the actual size but it fits like a 7 1/4, which is my size.

2 1/4" raw edge brim and the crown is approx. 5 5/8"; reeded 2" leather sweatband with taped back seam.

Tommy, that is exactly the type of hat I love. Fantastic in every way.

Very nice purple Sage! I recently purchased a 20 that is similar. I'm not sure how old my hat is. It is my first Dobbs.

Twenty's are great Dobbs to get. I have one too and it's probably my nicest hat, like new.

Tommy, that's a beauty. I really like the red ribbon on it. I agree with you, the Dobbs is my new favorite.

I have a couple of Dobbs Twenty hats. I have previously posted some of them on the Dobbs a diner. One that has a similar color combination to yours. They are some of my favorite hats.
