1950s Dobbs Hanover Square in lighter medium gray with greenish undertone, and matching silver-gray band & binding.

5 5/8" crown x 2 11/16" brim. Due to the higher block, the hat takes deep creases and works fine with center dent or diamond crease. It's one of those felts that holds accidental creases wonderfully. The flanging on this hat is rather high - check the pics.

7 1/8 long oval, fits true to size tag.

The hat orginally came with the typical 1950s plastic crown liner cover; I removed it; it feels much better that way when handling the crown. Still, it's a modification of the original.
The brim binding shows slight signs of aging throughout, but the discoloration is rather inconspicuous and even.
No further issues aside from that.

I'm asking $160.- shipped from Germany to the States. Please PM me if you're interested.

Btw, this is the hat that Brando11 used as an inspiration for his new VS Dove.

As my vintage hat collection has pretty much boiled down to my favorites and nothing beyond that, it's hard to pick candidates for selling. Still, I intend to further reduce the number just a little.
