Nothing comes up in a Google image search, no ads, catalogs or listings. But, the 70s era did not yield a lot of fedora advertising. Mostly western Stetsons comes up. Nice hat, looks like the condition of the sweat and liner is good. Call it mid-70s and wear it with pride!

Hi all. Posted this new to me Dobbs porkpie in the new hat thread yesterday. I took it in the John at the Brass Rooster here in Milwaukee to clean it up and put a lovely diamond on it. Love the look and the felt is great. Would this be mid-to-late '50s? (Only problem is it is a true 7-1/4 and I'm a 7-3/8 so not sure I'll end up keeping it.)

Here's the before:

And cleaned up and sporting a new bash:

This came from another lounge member, so I say thank you again, Tracy.

C.1930s Dobbs "Cross Country"

The felt is amazing. Light and airy, yet able to hold it's shape with a firmness we have come to love with these vintage felts.

The color is a pale grey that seems to change unser artificial lighting... super hard to get right in a photo. The bow & ribbon are a light gold color.

The crown is vented.
Price tag reads $5.00

Definitely one of my favorites

That's not hard to love and easy to see why that is a favourite. Astounding hat, Justin.

I left a comment in the New Hats thread comparing this with my early 50s CC. Now that I've seen more pics, I take that back. There is no comparison. Mine's real nice, this is amazing. Great pick up, Justin. That's a keeper.

A good hat is a good hat my friend. I'd love to see photos of yours! I have another CC in the mail, so when it arrives I will have to compare the two
