This is a mint condition Bates Supreme Hand Made Felt in size 6/78, the inside measures 21 3/4". The color is listed as Fenway and is an ultra dark brown that almost looks like a warm black in certain lighting. The brim is 1 3/4" wide and overwelted, and the crown peaks at 5" with the bash. The grosgrain band is 2" tall and the black leather sweat band is in great supple condition with slight fading from wear. The lining has no stains and the original red feather is in good condition but looks like it's frayed a bit. The hat appears to be a Trilby style but it you roll the front brim up and reset the bash it sure likes like a Homburg. The box is in great condition with the original Bates label in flawless condition.
Price: $125 (includes UPS ground shipping to CONUS)
