WTB: sz 7 5/8 (61cm) Thin Ribbon Western Fedora

[bretron]

Looking to pick up another OR style fedora to accompany my well loved Dobbs Westward. Not picky on condition, felt or manufacturer, though I'm not looking to drop excessive coin so there's that lol

I'd happily send you mine, but it's a large 7 3/8

Seriously.... I just picked up this sweet one that's also about a 7 3/8. Has my blood pumping and mind racing for a fat head size one haha

What is your definition of excessive coin? These big one's usually go north of 3 bills pretty quick.

That'd be richer than I'd be willing to go.

What do you have?
I don't want my Grey one anymore

Akubra Camp Draft. $100.00
Bash your own OR.

That is a good idea, and a less expensive way to go.

Thx for the recommendations.

Perhaps I need to try again in a 60. But I've previously owned two campdrafts in a 61 and the fit just wasn't doing it for me the way this Westward does.

The Campdrafts I own were loose out of the box, but after a rain storm or two, and sweat on the sweat band, they shrunk and conformed to my head.
I'll keep an eye out locally. If I see something, I'll let you know.

That's great to know, and thank you for the scouting!

We should talk. Can you do a 7 1/2?

Hi. Sorry to tempt you to exceed your limits, but check out Alley Kat Hat Co.'s instagram page. He's been really getting into the old OR's and is doing some mind-blowing stuff. I just ordered a version of the one listed as 13W (I think) in whiskey. I was holding back, but when I saw these, well....

Oh man, now that's a good lead

 

[tropicalbob]

I just corrected that: it's 13W.

I really shouldn't have looked at that IG page.
