I thought that the combination size tags (US and metric sizes) didn’t come around until later. Where did you get your 1971 date?

Good morning, noon, and night, everybody!!
I'm home in recovery from a completely successful surgical adventure. The downtime has given me more time to follow the conversations here, and I am delighted to report the resulting transfer of custodianship from Brent to me of this (instant favorite!!) 1950s (?) Cavanagh classic, in size 7-7/8!!!!! It fits nearly like a custom, right out of the box, too. I don't know if you had an opportunity to put an accurate date on this one, Brent, but the age markers are mixed, if not hazy. At the moment I am thinking circa 1953, based mostly on the sweatband and production tag factors. Then, there is the liner graphic...

My "new" favorite hat, thank you Brent!!

Good to see you, Charlie and I am glad things went your way. Good looking Cav and I still don’t see how you hold that thing upright. I think it was @40Cal who told me it was 53 when they started printing Cavanagh on the front of the sweat.

Looks great, Charlie! Good to hear the surgery went well. Brent is currently holding the top spot in the enabler's race!

Good get, Charlie, and great enabling, Brent.

But now you have to change your name to Mike...
