Cye Stacey Fedora

Now on eBay!  LINK

This vintage fedora was custom made in Boston by Cye Stacey.  It has a great tall crown and wide brim, with a shark gill style box bow.  It has a fixed wind string button setup, where the loose end is a loop and goes over your jacket button.  It has a Cavanagh edge, marked inside as a “Cav edge”.  It has a vented sweatband in a style similar to what was used on MacLachlans and Trimbles of the period.  The stitching at the rear sweatband seam has let go, but that’s not a very big issue. The body of the hat is of very fine quality fur felt, and the trimming is equally as nice.
