Old Raleigh Beaver fedora

I'm very surprised that this old fedora went so cheap. It looks to be old, in great shape, Cavanagh edge, and probably a nicer shade of grey than the photos indicate. I watched, but no patience to stretch another 7 1/8:

(I love the way these black background hats show up against the forum backdrop)

I was going to go after the "grey derby bowler" but had to consider how many purchases I have made in the last week. Considering the final price someone should be happy.

Dewhurst posted a (perhaps) useful rundown here:

I bought a Taiwanese straw in Taipei last year for about $30. They're still woven, but they're not easy to find. The weave quality was OK - nothing like a true panama or even a really well woven parabuntal. I'd be interested in seeing more details of this hat...



It looks a very rough version of thiswithout the tight weave.

And let me just add -- Lefty is singlehandedly responsible for turning this thread into a valuable encyclopedia of vintage hats by canvassing eBay for hats of all different makes, styles and sizes. So, even if a Lounger doesn't win a particular lid, it still finds a photographic home in this thread for our general edification and discussion. That takes quite a bit of time and energy, and it is most appreciated. :)

Cheers,
JtL

:) Thanks again.

I don't save all of the photos, so if you want 'em, be sure to grab 'em while they're up. This encyclopedia self-destructs.
