This Dobbs is an archetypal late '20s-'30s hat. Tall, straight crown that is approximately 5-1/4" as creased, 6" open, with a 1-3/4" ribbon. The brim is 2-1/4". Additional photos in the Dobbs Diner.

The somber and a bit eerie, ivy-clad exterior belies the...

Thanks, Manfred. Your eyes do not deceive you, the felt on this lid is the softest amongst all of my hats. So soft, in fact, that it behaves like a very high-weave-count Montecristi. The harsh lighting for the photos also exaggerates the natural, relaxed lines of the hat, but it will require...
