I am still on the hunt for one in that color combo—congrats!New late 40s/early 50s Whippet; a large sized 7 1/8 LO. 1 1/2” hat band. Gray felt with a blue hue that is better represented in the underside photo, per usual, and wish I understood why that happens when using a camera.
Just needed a simple one day stretch to fit just fine. I like it when all I have to do is shape the crown to my liking, but a dry stretch isn’t a bad thing either. View attachment 547268 View attachment 547269 View attachment 547270 View attachment 547271

Nice! Walmart? Looks like the Walton family in Arkansas might have been trying to remove any "prior use" issues in 1964.

Warm enough for a feltI hope that is a warm hat. Borger is one of those few places in Texas that can get "artic cold" in the winter season.
That looks like an excellent sample, Randall.
