Ooh, that Woodrow Bowler is so nice, Randy. Great dimensions. If ever you visit London be sure to take it with you. It will so right (back) at home there.
A new to me post-war Woodrow bowler in Radium (mid-grey indoors and I would call it silver-grey in direct sun). A great hand on this one - very smooth - and very thin. In fact, this is the first bowler I've handled I would actually call a feather weight. I don't have scales but I'm certain this unlined, thin felt is 1/3 less weight than other, traditional lined bowlers I have in my collection. One picture is with my C&K bowler and my Kaller bowler. As you can see, while the sides are curved more agressively on the Woodrow, all the dimensions are about 1/4 inch less than the other two examples. The crown may even be 1/2 inch shorter.
Fits great and looks good. Like some panama's, it is so light I hardly know I'm wearing it.
A huge Thank You to my friend, Stafan @steur for letting me be the caretaker of this great London hat.
