Thanks for all the likes for the Dobbs folks.

Yowza. Great hat, Eric.

We got about a half-dozen inches of snow Friday night - on top of ice - so I remained in the cave yesterday. Today, out earlier in the Berger of Hollywood rebuild (aka the FrunoBerger). And of course, because Sunshine...
Only one month until pitchers & catchers!!Sent directly from my mind to yours.

Thanks sir. It is a fun hat to wear. Suprisingly, to me, blue is easy to wear.

Beautiful Dobbs,Looks like a nice high crown.Thinking 2" ribbon?

Dogman, the hat ribbon is indeed 2". The light center-dent gives the fedora a 30's vibe I think.

Fantastic looking hat, Eric. That liner leaps out at you.

Thanks sir. You are right the liner asks that when you take it off your head that you sit it down liner up.

That may be my favorite of yours, Eric. The proportions and color are just exquisite.

Thanks sir. The smaller brim works for this 30's styled fedora. Blue goodness is easy to wear.

Took a walk thru the woods wearing a cap. The light snow makes everything look like the Christmas cards that would arrive at my parents house and be out on display thru March when I was a younger boy.

Home in time to shovel again. I changed to a Gannon (charcoal with fray ribbon).

Gray light on a light snow morning makes details of a hat pic difficult. This Dobbs fedora is an inky-blue. In light it can look very deep blue almost black. With closer inspection it has a gorgeous deep blue hue. The leather sweat work is dynamite. The brim edge - exquisite. This hat needs head time at my house.

Finally warmer 8'F weather that allows hat time. Outside and enjoying the "warm spell."

I'm in love with this one Eric. Is it new? Wow! I am interested in the age of this one. The lines are almost identical to my Navy Gannon today. Crown height?

The FrunoBerger looks good in the sunshine. I'm still on the hunt for some history on this one. Reached out to a Archivist friend at Berkeley to see if they show up in some city directories for LA/Hollywood during the 40s/50s. Should hear something this week.

I am not sure of the age yet. I do need to look thru the Dobbs threads for better placement. The box is not the original so not much help in dating. The crown is 5.25", brim 2.25" and the leather sweat reads "Designed and Detailed by George Wally, Broadway at 38th Street, New York. It sure is a glorious inky blue.

More pics. The inside pics with flash do not show color, but general dimensions. Snowy outside conditions keep me inside in answering your query.
