So I stumbled across these pictures on Google. It says this is a Dobbs fedora, but I'm curious which model this was in their product line. It's exactly the style I'm wanting, also are there any current production hats that look close to this?

Hi Ethan,

That’s almost surely a vintage hat based on the shape of the crown, so unlikely you’ll find an exact copy in the current Dobbs catalog. But that’s why this place exists. I have a late 1950s brown Dobbs with a wide black ribbon. I think the brim on mine is 1/8-1/4” narrower, but otherwise it’s a dead ringer. It’s redundant to a Cavanagh I have so if it fits you, I’d consider selling it. Others will have similar hats no doubt. What size are you?

For the record it doesn't have to be a Dobbs, just wanting a hat similar to the shape and brim length of this one. The best example is James Stewart's famous fedora he wore in alot of his films.
