Vintage Biltmore Velour Fedora Sz 6 7/8

[Purplesage]

Vintage brown Biltmore Velour fedora. The hat is on the small side and has no size tag but I would say it's close to a 6 7/8. I checked behind the sweatband and there are no tags attached. The hat has a 2 3/4" brim with raw edge and the open crown is approx 5 3/4" and is wrapped in a 1 3/4" grosgrain ribbon. The hat is super clean and looks as though it was hardly worn if at all. Unfortunately, there isolated moth tracks on the top and bottom side of the hat. The worst is on the bottom side of the brim and really isn't noticeable when wearing the hat. As you can see in the photos there are some isolated moth tracks on the top side of the brim left front. The satin liner is clean and in excellent condition and the unreeded leather sweatband is soft and pliable. I believe the hat was made in the 40s but it could possibly be older than that. Asking $110.00 shipped CONUS and $125.00 shipped outside the US.

Pity about the moth tracks being in front but still a nice example. Can you measure the circumference of the sweatband?

Garrett - Yes it it ashame. Fortunately the moth activity is mostly on the underside of the brim. The circumference is approx 21 3/4".
