Beautiful, soft, vintage Dalton stingy brim fedora. Felt shapes like butter, no steam needed for shaping. The sweatband and tag shows it as a 7 3/8" (I'm a size 7 1/4" and this fits me just a bit loose). 1.5" brim and bashed to 5" at the crown. Color is a dark olive green with a black ribbon and black brim binding

This hat style is very similar to a #Stetson Whippet. #Borsalino. #Knox. #Dobbs.

If you have any concerns about the hats condition, please request additional photos I want you to be happy with your purchase and not be surprised with any condition issues. This hat is used and does show signs of prior wear. The photos are a part of the description so zoom in and look closely and ask for more photos if you are still not sure or if there is a part of the hat you cannot see. If you are still unsure, I’d recommend that you do not bid or buy unless you are willing to take the associated risks.

I cannot guarantee fit. Look at the photos carefully, I have included a front to back and side to side photo showing dimensions of each hat. When the manufacturer’s sizing is available, I will provide that. My opinion on the fit is just my personal take and is NOT to be relied on for how the hat will fit you (it’s just how the hat fits me). It is the buyer’s responsibility to understand hat sizing and to know the differences in United States (US), other countries around theworld. Also understand that sizing varies between makers and can vary based on when the hat was made. If the manufacturer’s sizing is included in aphoto that is the size, but it doesn’t mean it will fit you or fit like other hats of the same size.

Custom handmade hats will not typically have a size tag. Furthermore, hats can become stretched out, shrink, just fit differently one brand or one date of manufacture to the next. This can be disappointing, but it’s all part of buying used or vintage hats and buying without getting to try the hat on. I do not accept returns do to sizing or fit issues.

Hats may become distorted in shipping. I package hats with reasonable care, but the box, packaging materials, heat, and the “care” shown by postal employees all work to distort crowns and brims. This applies to used/vintage hats and to hats that are new and new with tags alike. Shaping and reshaping hats is part of the fun of hat ownership, and this hat will need some shaping when it arrives. Additionally,hat may be shaped/creased/bashed off-center and require adjusting by the new owner. Most of my hats are hand-creased / bashed / shaped and neither the brim nor the crowns will be symmetrical. Misshaped hats are not considered a defect and are to be expected.

Color rendering is always a potential issue. The type of lighting, camera settings, and the monitor / screen the images are viewed on all allow for the colors to look different in person compared to what you see in the listing on eBay. Please request additional photos in varied lighting if you have any concerns about the color rendering. Some of my photos may be indoors in artificial light and the colors shown will not be accurate compared to what they look like in natural light. Some natural light will also change the perception of color. Hats also look different indirect natural light compared to indirect light. If accurate color rendering is important to you please ask for photos in natural light, but even those may be different from the color of the item. Felt colors in particular are hard to accurately capture and can change depending on many factors.

I do not accept returns. I ship only to the United States of America. I don’t invoice buyers and if you win multiple items you will need to pay for them separately. The auction/sale is just for the hat. The box and any other accessories are for display only and are not included unless expressly stated otherwise in the listing.
