*reduced* The Giorgio 100

[alanfgag]

This is not Armani, but the work of Fred Hayman and his famous boutique Giorgio Beverly Hills. I've never seen another. I am guessing that this hat is from the 1970s, prior to the launch of the fragrance that made Giorgio an international landmark. On the back of the sweatband is the name Haupt - I believe this hat once belonged to the long time concertmaster of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, Charles Haupt... but I digress.

The hat carves a very neat and casual fedora profile with a 2 1/4" brim and 4 1/2" crown as I have it bashed. It is not marked for size, but it fits my 22 1/8" head comfortably - I would recommend for 7 or 7 1/8. The felt is predominantly deep gray, a soft, furry, flecked heather. The fabric band is speckled with color. The photos show the character of the hat well. This $100 hat is in very good condition inside and out. I've owned it for many years, worn it only several times.

A neat piece of Tinseltown fashion history, even more value priced! now at $50, including shipping.

Gorgiferous.

... and since it is pre-perfume, it smells nice too!

I like everything about this hat, except the fact that it's five sizes too small. Oh, the humanity....

 

[alanfgag]

It might stretch a little, but not five sizes. 8^o

OK, may the once ubiquitous fragance of the 1980s has you running for cover, or there are no Beverly Hills collectors out there... but I've slashed the price to half a hundred on this very neat hat.
