This vintage fedora was made in the 1940s.  It was an inexpensive summer straw at the time, but of surprisingly nice quality.  This is the kind of hat which simply does not survive.  Like vintage eight panel caps, they were meant to be worn for a season or two and then replaced.  It features classic fedora styling, with a diamond ventilation pattern in the side of the crown reminiscent of that found on Stetson Playboys of this time frame.  The weave of the straw is extremely fine.  The hat has darkening due to age, and the band has fading. The sweatband is hard, but still perfectly in-tact and not warped.Size: 6-3/4Brim Width: 2-3/4″Band Width: 1-3/4″
