This 1960s 7X is pretty resilient and with some love should be okay. Hat was sold as a size 7 but it is actually a 7 1/4 and I have a #52 block for that. Lots of work required to turn this into a victory

Recovered quite nicely

Wont know exactly what it is till it gets here and I can see the whole sweatband, but I won what appears to be one of the old Houston tx American Hat Company "American Fedora" hats from a Goodwill auction. Looks to be in nice condition. It may just be a western, but I dont remember their westerns having less than 4-4-1/2 brims. Im guessing this ones a 3". will have to wait till it gets here to pair a new ribbon color, but it will prob get a 3/4" ribbon and Campaign bow
