OK...so what is your oldest hat?

Nice! Is it a 7 1/2?

Yup ... :)

My oldest is a late 1940s Imperial Stetson in Suede Finish. It has a whip stitched felted hat band, similar to a Stetson Tijuana. It also sports a 2 5/8 raw edge brim. It looks to be something of a rare hat. I only saw two others just like it. One of the other hats showed an original price tag of $16.50. It's a real nice hat, but unfortunately, it's a 7 1/8. Too small for me.

EDIT: I just noticed that I posted pics of this same hat on the previous page sometime back.
