1930s Dobbs D'Orsay curl Bowler hat size 7 1/4 . Fits like a 7 3/8.

I am reselling this Bowler on eBay. It cost me $175 after much haggling. It is marked 7 1/4, but it really is a 7 3/8. I know because it fit me perfectly. Excellent condition. Too big for @Rmccamey , but it is totally his style.
I am selling it on eBay for 200 plus shipping to compensate their fees, but it cost me 175. If a Lounger wants it, $175 plus shipping.
I am not a Bowler guy myself, but that D'Orsay made me buy it.

Full disclosure: I was thinking of buying it just to have such a great example of a D'Orsay curl. But I have decided not to buy. Max has probably the most incredible collection of hats I have ever seen. If you are likely to wear a Derby then I think it is a fair value purchase. But not as an example of a great hat. Why spend serious money on a hat you won't wear very much? Another $200 and you have enough for a Gannon that you will treasure for the rest of your life..
