http://www.ebay.com/itm/272103091111

This vintage fedora was made in the 1940s and was sold by Standard, of 738 Market Street, San Francisco, California.  It is made in the thin ribbon, thin binding “Open Road” style. It has an early style sweatband, with a taped rear seam, and where the cloth reed tape is stitched to the brim break. It has a card from “Personality” hats, also of San Francisco, under the sweatband, possibly from a cleaning.
