I have myself a new old stock Adam hat. It's a size 7. It's in its original box, with all tags, and original Adam tissue paper. It has a bound brim and 1.5 inch grey ribbon, both done in an interesting staggered gossgrain.
The brim is 2.5 inches.
It has a teardrop crown.
Oh man... I'm going nuts! That is such a beautiful hat... I'd have a hard time wearing it or stretching it! I'd put it under glass... you never see them this NOS!!! Even has the paper in the box... that hat is as dead as they come!
It is possible to stretch but, I wouldn't... I know a guy here who's a 7! Ray, where are ya buddy???
I'll post this link to him in a PM... he'd be a good candidate for this hat!
It is a Resistol "Ten", it was originaly a homburg. It just wasn't my style, so I tweaked it a bit. DocHoliday calls it the Texas Treatment. Like I said, I wear a 7 3/8 and it was a 7 1/8. A spay bottle of water, Lexol, a stretcher and patience and you see the finished product. It never fails to get positive comments.
