This tag was inside of it.....

I tried to submerge it in water to soften it up a bit so I can shape the brim...it's very stiff, the whole hat is.....and the water just beaded off of it like a duck in a pond. :D

I don't know if there's a coat of shellac on it or what? It is a bit yellowed. [huh]

water resistant! Probably shellac, but at least that means you don't have to worry about summer rain storms catching you unawares.
I like it a lot.

I like it Bolt, the third picture almost looks like it's made of styrofoam.

This a fabulous hat. Boy do I wish they could make it like this again. Aside from a little dirt on the brim and an inch or so of loose stitches the hat is perfect. It is completely different from my other Cross Country.

Thanks Alan.It amazes me how well things were made then. Even the sweat band is supple,although I will need to replace it with a reeded one soon. I wonder if reeding can be attached to this sweat. The felt is so ,so thin. I wish I could find more.

Size 7 1/8 huh? All the compliments I've given you! All this time you've been against me! It's a good thing I'm running out of closet space or I would consider you my enemy! :D

Beautiful hat! I think I bid on that one.

Actually I am a 7-1/4. Sometimes I find an 1/8 that fits really well and this is one.
Sorry about bidding against you but......

Thanks J.T., you have been showing some fine hats yourself.

Absolutely no problem! I'm just playing. I've said it before, you seem to find the best looking hats out there! You have a great eye!
