Bond, that's strange that the size sticker says 5 1/2, no? If that's punti, and it's a 7 1/2 as the inner circumference would indicate, then what the heck?

Nice looking hat in any case.

 

[bond]

You are correct Randall . I sized the hat up ,as the original sweat was cracked and dry rotted. I will include the original sweat if its wanted.

Thanks for asking

Man, that's gorgeous, Bond! Both delighted and sad that it's out of my league. Otherwise I'd be all over it.

 

[Landman]

Very pretty hat. Does the new sweatband have something imprinted on it?

 

[bond]

Hey mike, yes this roan leather sweat has Henry the Hatter imprint. I bought these from joe when I was in need of some.

 

[Landman]

Thanks for the info. It looks very nice.
