Thanks, fedoralover. As far as I know, Lee made the Marathon line for J.C. Penney. Don't know if this ever changed over time.
Cheers,

That's a great find,
too bad it's not my size.
Glad to see you're back.

I own one myself and just love it! I had to have the lining and sweatband replaced, which was disappointing, but no one sees that when in on my head anyway.
I also have my Dad's original 'Marathon' from the '50s'. It is of reduced dimensions - more of a businessman's hat of the era and less of a true fedora. Oddly
enough my Dad's hat is way too small for me to wear. When I was a lad, it fell down over my ears! Now that I'm my Dad's age then, my head is much larger
(7 3/8) than his was. That alone is dumbfounding, as he seemed like a giant when I was a kid!
