This is a bargain for such a nice vintage hat. I sure wish my wallet had more in it. At the moment my wallet is committing mutiny as it is! Sorry about your Kitty Kat. I've had to pay out over $2,900 to vets for dogs the last 30 days for medical needs, so I know how that goes.

Bumpity-bump bump.

We have a running tab at the Vet's office, along with a rapidly aging pet population. Break your heart and MT your wallet. Nice hat.

I might be interested in it sir. I run in between sizes as most 7 1/2 are just a tad too snug and 7 5/8 are too big. I've had to measure several times for some hats I had made and my head measures right at 60cm around. From your description this just may fit me and a vintage hat in that size is near impossible to find (especially in perfect condition like this one! Gorgeous hat). I am not crazy about the thin ribbon but that can be changed pretty easy I think. Sorry to hear about your cat.

You could not find a better deal. I would hope you leave the ribbon work alone. That hat is going to look amazing on anyone wearing it. Keeping it true vintage is a big plus for the hat, even more so if you later wanted to sell it. With vintage hats...."Thin is in" when it comes to ribbon sizes!

I don't think I could actually bring myself to change a vintage hat like this. I was just kind of thinking out loud I guess, lol. Thank you for the tip on "thin is in" for vintage I have never really looked really closely at true vintage hats because I have never came across one in my size before.

If it fits you should leap on it! Clean near new vintage hat, less than the cost of some of the junky moderns floating around it should be a not hard choice here. This even has it's original box, right????

If that were a 7 I'd have jumped on it. Jeremy, if you like it, you should grab it. You can always turn it around here -- a lot of FLers are larger sizes.
