Its an old Stetson The Playboy II hat. It was in mint condition and picked it up cheap! The body is long hair beaver fur and seems to be a...
Its actually a little large for me, not by much. I'll check out some vintage 6 3/4 to see if they are closer to my size vs the 6 7/8. I remember measuring my noggin at 54.25cm. I'm going to try adding some felt in the hat band tonight. Does anyone know if vintage Cavanaghs run a little large?

I've never 'bashed' before. Any suggestions for the Cavanagh? Also, I couldn't pass up the...
Dont worry bolthead, I'm not planning on picking up that many hats... at least that's what I'm telling my wife. Anyway, I think I may be more of a 6 3/4 than an 6 7/8 but they fit pretty good too.;)
My maiden post:
Hi everyone! I'm new to the Lounge. I got sucked into the hat world with a Monticristi (~800wpi) from panamahatsdirect.com this summer. Long story short, body is excellent, but the brim (quality of weave) and finishing works dissapointing, but I still love it and wore it all...
