My First Vintage Hat.

Hello, Here are some pictures of my new hat, a Dobbs Fifteen. A $7.00 flea market find. It fits too!

$7.00

Yes, $7.00 and it has the box and original price tag. It's original price was $12.50!

Very nice find! You should post some pictures of it on your head!

Wow, amazing hat. A steal for $7. Congrats. Now we need some pics of you wearing it. :fedora:

 

[tonyb]

Did I hear you correctly? Seven U.S. dollars, right?

 

[Feraud]

An outstanding hat and price!

Pic on my head.

Here it is on my head. I don't photograph well.

I don't think this hat was used much.

I know this is your first vintage hat, but you do realize how desirable a lid that is, right? Seeing how your luck is going, you may wish to take a peek under the sweatband -- you just might find a couple of 50s tucked in there.

I certainly didn't, but judging by the reactions in this thread, Sean has snagged himself a very good deal. lol

Desirable or not, and just going on my own newbie viewpoint, I think this is a nice looking hat anyway. I'm not normally all that keen on brims with edge binding on them, so my initial reaction upon seeing such a wide one on this hat was "yikes", but it suits the hat perfectly, and the more I look at it, the more I am being won over by binding.

Excellent find.

I looked, no cash in the band. I couldn't believe the luck on this find. Most of the vintage stuff I find is way to small to fit me and in horrible shape.

Seven dollars is a spectacular deal! The cheapest vintage fedora I've found in a shop cost roughly 30 dollars...or maybe I just don't know where to look. [huh]
