Deep blue (Cadet blue?) *******. Pictures are with flash, so it appears lighter than it is. Super light and floppy.

Phenomenal hat. Don't think I've ever seen a ******* in that color. And the contrasting ribbon ... so beautiful! Wish I could find one just like it!

 

[alanfgag]

Very nice... And you JtL-ed it!

 

[Frunobulax]

Oh my!

That is gorgeous buler!

 

[Short Balding Guy]

Dynamite! The hat is a fedora of dreams.

My cadet blue Stratoliner is similar in color, but not as rich a blue.

Wear in pride sir!

Thanks for all of the comments. I had a cadet blue Strat and this blue is deeper, so maybe there is another blue? I couldn't find another blue color name. It does fit me because it was stretched from a 7 to a 7 1/4. But the brim is too much for me. I usually stick with 2 1/2". My daughter says I should still wear it, but I don't know...

Wear the hat you bon vivant! IMO your daughter is correct.

Enjoy the marvelous find sir.

+1 what Eric and your daughter said. I'd wear that beauty no matter how big the brim!

Just saw this thread pop back up and figured I should put this lid with its family

That is one sweet lid, Anthony! That's a dream hat for me, right there. So is that Three Way. You have so many nice Vita Felts.

Anthony, that is a gorgeous hat. Great color on the ribbon. A beautiful reddish brown.

thanks Harv !

I have way too many brown hats ... but there was no way i was passing up one of my bucket list hats for the color of the felt

and it turns out that it is a quite different brown than any of my other browns ... and like you said ... the ribbon really pops off the brown without too much contrast

 

[RJR]

Great color.
