Black Fairmount Genuine Fur Felt Fedora
Those velours look grand, Robert! Funny, my mother just purchased a black velour fedora from an antiques store. And much to my surprise, she put aside the family-imposed hat buying freeze and let me add this to my collection:
It's a Fairmount fur felt fedora, the first vintage hat I've bought. The crown is nice and straight with a fine-looking diamond crease.
The felt and ribbon are both in great shape.
Does anyone know about how old this hat is? I have no clue, but could provide additional inside pictures if they'd help.
Not such a great photo, but I'm rather pleased that the rather short brim looks decent.
