I'll Lock Up

3rd one I'm very disappointed in. I seen this Bowler/Derby and fell in love with the color, I haven't seen many in this color scheme b4 and loved it. Again, unfortunately it's too small..It says it's a 7 but it fits more like a 6 7/8. Also, to my dismay, I noticed that it looks like the felt actually was torn, close to the sweat and ribbon. Then somebody tried to fix it with some sort of glue maybe. Once on, it's hardly even noticeable, but being a bit small, it sits pretty high on my head and I don't like the way it looks. This will also go to the classifieds, if anyone is interested.
Looks interesting. Derbies were worn high and they also look even higher since the brim curls upward exposing more of the head. You might just need to give it a little time--or it just doesn't work for you.

Kurt,

That is a nice P. & C. Habig. Probably from the early 1980s (the paper label should have the production year). If you have time could you please post it in the German - Austrian thread?
