that is one hell of a hat!

It's a full 7 1/4,nice and soft,very comfortable hat.I'm going to wear this one a lot.....ScottF said:Is it a true 7 1/4? I wanted that hat, and you got it for a good price, but I'm finding that those old Stetson westerns are often a size small (shrinkage from age?), so I'm now afraid to bid on anything smaller than 7 3/8.
You have a stretcher... it'll return to its original size. I did that with the 4X(1/2 size under) recently. Took about 15 minutes. You are only returning the fibers to their original form, not tearing them apart(as increasing over the label can do).ScottF said:Is it a true 7 1/4?

Okay - Michael, since I would have bid if I had spoken with rlk first, could you please send the hat to me, and I'll reimburse you. Thanks.

Michaelshane said:If you were bidding it probably would have gone a bit higher.I had my snipe set for considerably more.I wanted that one.I've only bought two hats since mid summer.I'm getting picky.
Sweeeeeettttt!Wolfen said:This is my new homburg. I got it on ebay last week. It is made by Stacy Adams.
The bow on the hat has a leather center, its kind of unique.
I normally wear a size 7 and this is a 6 7/8 so its a little snug.
