--SOLD--1920's Stetson Derby Excellent Quality 7 3/8 - 7 1/2

[XPLSV]

I'm clearing out a few of my derbies this week. Here is a Stetson Excellent Quality. I'm guessing pre-1928 because of the taped sweatband seam. Felt is immaculate, sweatband in very good shape, liner in very good shape. The top has a very slight depression in it, which can be seen in the photos. I've worn it as such, although I have wondered if it was worth seeing if Graham could do anything for that, as I know he makes derbies. This is a larger sized derby. I measure the inside circumference at 23 3/8 inches. I wear a size 7 3/8 Long Oval and this hat fits quite well from front to back and isn't really tight. Has a little extra room on the sides for my head shape. I think it is thus a little larger than a regular oval 7 3/8 and leaning towards 7 1/2. I'm asking $100 for it and whatever the actual shipping might be. I can include the Dobbs box in the photos...no cost for the box, just a little more for shipping.

Wow! Aside from the one I own, this is the only The Avenue derby I've seen. With that, the condition, the size, and the Panama Exposition Medals, anyone looking for a derby would be nuts not to get in on this.
