Thank you, Justin. I was actually thinking of trading it off for something in my size. I'm not going to wear it. It's a real nice hat and very clean on the inside. Both the sweat and liner look nearly new. The sweat is still supple too. I've only seen two others like it. Even Brad Bowers couldn't find info on it. I think, Barrowith?, has one. His still has the original price tag of $16.50 from 1949. It seems to be fairly rare...It has a whip stitch felted hat band and a 2 5/8 raw edge brim. Both of the other hats like this one were the same in every way.I think the conversion suits you well, brother. I really like how you made it look.
Any way to stretch the hat to your size, or just gonna keep it for display?

It's missing the sweat band bow and the size tag. It's tagged 7 1/8 on the red and white manufacturer's label.
