F/A James Lock and Co Fedora 7 1/8

[DJH]

I've been investing in some nice new hats of late so I'm going to be selling some that I just don't seem to get to wear.

My Lock and Co. Fedora is up on eBay here

It's a very nice example of the rather narrow brim - about 1 7/8 - style Lock has made for a long time.

I'd say the hat is on the large side of 7 1/8 and is in great shape!

Oh, the Brook Bros hatbox is included as well!

Just the tiniest, most discrete of bumps.

Hey, I was just browsing eBay and sent you a message there. Small world! Just curious if this the 7 1/8 is a UK or US size. I'm between 7 1/4" and 7 1/8" US (though closer to 7 1/4).

Thanks,
Magnoli

Great question.

The hat was made for the US market, so American 71/8.

My head size is a small 71/8 (or big 7) and I have to pad the sweatband with just a little felt for this hat to fit comfortably.

Coming into the last day of the auction for this very nice hat.

Last hours.
Still time to get a great deal on a very nice English hat complete with box.
