Tucker and Tucker vintage 7 1/2

[Blackthorn]

Here we have a very nice older hat, in very good condition for its age. It doesn't have a size tag but fits like a 7 1/2. It's a deep chocolate color with a 2 3/8 bound brim. $100 gets it shipped via economy USPS to CONUS:

Bump for a nice hat

 

[Blackthorn]

Thanks BigFitz! Anyone want this for $80?

 

[Blackthorn]

Sale pending...and thanks again for the bump, BigFitz...

 

[Blackthorn]

Sold, and thank you, sir!

Oh drat! I would have gone for 80. You step away from the forum for a few hours and look what happens. Anyway, congrats to the new owner. :eusa_clap. Blackthorn, I've noticed you've been selling off a few and that your measurement of 23 1/4" is identical to mine. If you have something similar you're thinking of parting with for around the same money, I'm definitely interested. Good luck on the rest of your sales.

Thanks BigFitz, our head measurement is exactly the same, but remember that one reason I'm parting with these is that they are true to size, and a 7 1/2 is just a bit too loose for me. If you like them that way, then I do have another nice hat for the same price here: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?73395-Lock-and-Co-hat-from-England

That is a nice one however I was looking for brown with a wider brim. Do you find a 59 a better fit, or is there stretching involved? I only have one hat and it's a 60. It is loose as well, but thought it may be the make as opposed to the size.

I have learned to buy a 59 and stretch it with an Art Fawcett hat band block. I'm closer to the 59 than the 60, so that has turned out to be better for me. I understand about the brown hat and wider brim. I'm the same way, and I have a nice collection of them, which I'm keeping.
