Shudde Brothers Fedora 7 5/8 or 61 cm for sale

[Rogera]

I rescued this hat about 2 years ago even though it tries to swallow my entire head just because I can't leave a good looking hat to an undetermined fate . It is a Shudde Brothers fedora with a 2 1/4 overwelted brim, 4 1/4 crown as creased, 2" ribbon that is unmarked as far as size. The other hats in the closet were 7 5/8 and 61 cm but were in very bad condition so I am assuming this is the same size range. I can get more measurements and pictures if anyone is interested. It is a long oval.



Different light





Slight wear on the leather and reed sheath


Sweat is still very flexible


Small mark of some sort on the ribbon and if you look carefully to the right of the mark on the felt there is a white speck of something that is barely noticeable. It can be seen in the other pics just above the leading edge of the bow.



I am asking $50 plus shipping. Thanks for looking!

GR8 deal!

I have several Shuddes and they are superior felts.
Once I read here somewhere that Stetson made the Shudde Bros. house brand and I believe it.
Got any 7 1/2?

 

[Rogera]

Unfortunately not at the moment sir. I'm always on the lookout though!

Very nice. Any 61cm thin ribbons?

 

[Rogera]

Bretron I had a 7 1/2 Panama earlier in the year that I sold. I'll keep my eye out though!

Can't believe this hasn't sold yet, Rog!! Super quality lid in a near-impossible size.

Thanks Charlie, I try to grab the large sizes when I find them to keep them from getting destroyed or vanishing because I know there is a need for them.
