FS Herbert Johnson Brown Bowler size 7 1/8 and Friends.

Due to some recent purchases and custom hats incoming its time to re-asses and say goodbye to some hats that just don't have too much time in the rotation.

Herbert Johnson Chocolate Brown bowler in size 7 1/8 or 57cm. $135 shipped.

Excellent condition. A beautiful hat for fans of John Steed of the Avengers fame. The one is a dead ringer for one he wore frequently on the show, only a rarer shade of Brown.

Navy blue Dobbs Twenty Guild edge in size 7 1/8. Near mint condition $85 shipped.

Serpent Green Knox Premier size 7 1/8. $95 shipped.

Excellent condition. Tagged 6 7/8 but was reblocked at some point to fit as a size 7 1/8.

All very tempting, but my budget won't allow any purchases right now. The Dobbs is a beauty!

Heres a link to an auction to an actual Steed bowler with a very similar profile to the bowler I have for sale for all those interested.

Does the bowler fit true to size or smaller/larger? I'm in between 7 1/8 and 1/4 and often the 1/8 sized hats are a little too snug.

It's a dead on 7 1/8. This one would be a bit snug unless you wore it in a more classic style, i.e more atop the head with a jaunty little tilt.

Blue Dobbs is sold.

Thank you David.

I'll give these guys one more go on here before moving them to ebay. $125 shipped for the Herbert Johnson Bowler, which I should note is a hard shell bowler. and $85 shipped for the sage green knox premier which fits to a true 7 1/8.
