This vintage fedora was made in the mid 1950s and was sold by Penney’s under the Marathon hat label. It is made of fur felt, has a blocked in teardrop crease, a thin ribbon and thin binding, and a brown leather sweatband. It is a 7-1/8.
Coming this Fall!
I’m not convinced this hat ever looked very good. Golden corduroy with a black band. Very casual, very small. It got squished somewhere along the line and looks pretty rumpled.
This marathon has a classic color scheme- gray and champagne. The ribbon is fancy, but somehow makes it more casual.
The casual hat. Short brim, fuzzy felt, knit band, sloppy porkpie crease.
