Willis and Geiger fur felt safari slouch hat large Sold

[reetpleat]

Sold.

This is a cool safari or slouch type hat. Made for Willis and Geiger. They are an old school outfitter. I think they went out of business and the brand was revived. Don't really know. But I would assume that the hat was made by a third party company anyway. It is an olive color with a puggaree, vent holes and leather band, and leather shoelace to secure it to head. It is marked Large. Running a tape measure around the inside as best as i can, it is about 23 inches. It is marked a size large. the felt feels nice. It is marked genuine fur felt. Condition is good used condition.

Really cool hat for outdoors, Halloween or whatever.

$35 including US shipping. Overseas would be cost of shipping.

If interested, please post then send PM. Let me know if you have any questions.

Willis & Geiger safari hat vs. Banana Republic Safari hat

RB[/COLOR][/QUOTE] I came across this thread about a Willis & Geiger safari hat for sale on FL. http://www.thefedoralounge.com/show...-Geiger-fur-felt-safari-slouch-hat-large-Sold. I believe the hat would have originally come with the zebra hat band, but the pugaree was an interesting replacement and perhaps the hat came that way as an option. What was interesting, however, is that it is exactly the same hat as the Banana Republic safari hat, except that the BR hat has a lining.
compare this BR hat: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=251326172023. Also see this Willis & Geiger hat. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mens-Medium-Willis-Geiger-Safari-Hat-w-Zebra-Band-Made-in-USA-/120886610256. The BR hat is certainly a relative bargain.
